Hello all,

This is going to be a long-shot perhaps, but would anyone know where I would be able to get hold of a jumper (sweater to those not in the UK) -- knitted or otherwise -- with just a teddy bear on the front, a simple teddy, perhaps knitted as part of the pattern?

I would love to wear something like that.  :)

Hi Thomas, heres one i saw on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-80s-Mondi … 2|294%3A50

It says womens but i would say its more unisex, you would maybe have to stretch it a bit! You could hang a tin of paint from it like my dad had to do when my mum shrunk his pringle golf jerseys!

This is close to what I had in mind, but rather a single teddy bear only.

Hehehe, what a novel idea.  :)

Thanks for digging around, that's really kind of you.

Ah -- now that's more or less exactly what I am after -- just, err, yes... need to find some knitters.  Heh.

Hi Thomas
Check out this link http://www.ruthiesteeco.com/pages/index.php?pID=1446  She is located in Bird-In- Hand in Pennsylvania USA and has many more shirts than she has displayed on her web pages. If you told her what you were looking for she will let you know if she has or can get it
Hope this helps. I personally know Ruth and you could not find a more accomodating person
Hugs

Hi Thomas, why not try your local wool shop, they often have knitters who will knit up patterns for the shop. Back in the 80's each shop had an army of knitters who would knit on commission. That way you could buy the pattern and then choose the wool from the shop

Hey Sue --

That's not a bad idea -- I would need to hunt around for such a place in Southampton though, I just hope such shops exist still.  :)  Thanks.  :)

Well, the only thing I've found with any ease is this:

http://www.knittingonthenet.com/pattern … eteddy.htm

Could someone who knows anything about knitting comment on how feasible it would be to take the design pattern listed, and enlarge it perhaps, such that it was a centre piece on a jumper (sweater)?  Is it even possible given the design?

Thanks all!

Is there no one here who would take me up on my offer?   Design suggestions welcome, including payment of services rendered as a result.  Am keen to get this rolling.    :)
