looking for knitting patterns

hello,

My name is Els, i'm from belgium and i'm new here. First of all ... i'n very sorry if my English is not so good!!! i dont use it very often.

I work at home taking care of children who's parents are going to work all day. At this moment i've got 9 children and two of my own. I love to knit! At this moment i'm knitting a bear for all of my children. that is why i need your help. I was knitting the paterns by designer stitches (popcorn bears) but they've stopped there production. I've looked everywhere but i dont find the pakkets anymore.

So far i've got patterns for

popcorn butterscoth (and all simular bears in other colors) knitted soufflé Fudge the cat

But i'm still looking for

Pickles the hedgehog, biscuit, barly the mouse

Is there anyone who can help me? Scan the patterns and mail them to me? I can swap patterns if you like. I also have al lot of patterns for cross stitching to swap for knitting patterns.

thank you very much

Hello Els, my name is Bernadette, I live in Scotland. I have managed to find out that Designer Stitches has gone out of business and their knitting patterns are rare but there are people advertising on various forums to swap the knitting patterns they have for those that they want.

One person has knitted all the popcorn range except for "Fudge the Cat" which she wants. She is advertising on the forum at

Hello Bernadette,

thanks for your suggestion. I've registered on the johnsoncrafts forum but i dont have acces yet. I can read everything but i can't reply or make a new tread on my own.

I hope to get it soon.

It's not very easy to find those patterns. I could not imagine it would be so difficult.

greetz,

Els

Thanks Bernadette

I really appreciate what you are doing for me.

The italian side only sells bears i've already got. And i'm still not activated to the Jonhson crafts forum. It does'nt look good for me :-)

Hi Barbara,

many thanks to you! It's better to understand in English than Italian! The only one i dont have of the ones they sell is Barley the mousse but someone here in Belgium promised me she would make a copy for me. So i'm still looking for Hedgehog and Biscuit and i didn't see them on the italian side.

Hope to find them!

bye

Els

I'm just glad I could help and hope you manage to get the patterns you want. Keep checking in on the group as I'm sure you will be able to provide information to help someone else in the future.

I'm a great believer in "pass it on" especially the good things that happen. :-)

All the best Bernadette
