Hello Helen. What a wonderful blanket! The border is quite beautiful. What a treasure. As are the fabulous Tsutsus. I love Birdie in that paler shade of Lettlopi. I’ve just finished one in a similar colour (my third since you introduced me to Cinthia’s patterns). Three more to go as I am making a Teddy Bear’s picnic group. I did buy Cinthia’s wonderful book and made Mouche. He’s very lovely but Tsutsu is my first love. After the mouse makealong, maybe you will host a Tsutsu along :) The world needs more bear love. Especially Tsutsus :) Thanks for all the inspiration and joy you share. Love, Gillian xo

I'm a beginner toymaker and you explain things so well with excellent close-up photography. I've been using a Japanese-style chopstick to help with the stuffing, I think it's pointier than a Chinese one. But of course, it lives in my knitting bag and never gets used for takeaways!

Hi Helen, a bit late to the party. Oh, that blanket - all those filet stitches, all that sewing up, and the border. What a gorgeous job. Congratulations. What a project. It might be a while before you tackle something that big again but then - crocheters and blankets are like tea and cake, and just as addictive :) ok I should have watched a bit further because yes we have another blanket 🤣. I love a good blanket so I’ll go look at it. I love your ‘antique white’ 48 squares but I would never have the patience to put it together. I did skim thru the bear assembly but Bridie and Bernard look beautiful together. Big hugs always.

I’ve got yarn and needles ready now so I will make one eventually. I’ve just finished an Emotional Support Chicken and there will be more of those. What fun! I must mention that after last week’s video I pulled down my own much loved copy of A Child’s Garden of Verses, and have been enjoying it again. I have a small paperback with beautiful illustrations printed in 1966, which I had as a gift probably not long after that. It says the price 3/6 on the cover.

Those photos of the wee bears among the flowers were absolutely gorgeous and the forget-me-nots on Bridie's ear were toooo cute❤❤❤ I am unlikely to ever knit a Tsutsu bear (if that's how it's spelt), but I still enjoyed watching you stuff yours and found it super relaxing to listen to too. The general principles you used will apply to stuffing most knitted toys and even felt ones, so it was still very useful. Your Nature's Walk blanket turned out splendidly - a real heirloom piece. What a great idea to do it in one colour, and thanks for sharing how much wool you used. I hope Wilhelmina Wood Mouse is coming along nicely - I look forward to seeing her at the end of June. I was going to make her for your mouse-along (I'm a Luna Lapin fan😅), but I wanted to reduce the size. However, I keep forgetting to take the book to a photocopier🙄 Hopefully I'll remember this week😂.

The nature's n walk is a beautiful blanket. You did a great job on it. I rather like the raised join between blocks. I think any project, as long as you make the same 'mistake' consistently, it becomes a design element. That outer border looked like a lot of work, but is so worth it. It is a show stopper.😍👏 I am working on my second mouse now. The stuffing is always a bit of a challenge, got to think of goldilocks, not too hard, not too soft, just right. I use the polyester stuffing but your wool stuff looks so much nicer, like it would grip to itself. The poly is slippery. It's weird🤔. But readily available and inexpensive. I am not the best toy maker and usually have a hard time concentrating to follow a pattern. Counting is hard🙄 Anyways, I enjoyed your video. The forget me nots are blooming here, one of my favorites, Birdie was beautiful with her flower adornments See you next week..

Thanks, Karen. Yes, there's quite a difference between using wool stuffing and man-made fibre - but the man-made is certainly lot cheaper. I tend to use that for crocheted toys. I'm glad you're getting on with your second mouse! I can't wait to share all the mice that are being made!!! xx

Your blanket/afgan is really spectacular! You did such a lovely job. Bernard and Bridie are very special indeed, and I appreciated your stuffing helps and tips. It was so sweet to see the bears enjoying your beautiful garden. Have a lovely week, dear Helen!

Hello Helen and Bernard and Bertie! Thank you for your fantastic tutorial on stuffing a knitted bear. It was very helpful for me. I am in the process of knitting my first little rabbit - your sage advice and the wonders of you tube are significantly helping. I love the little sweaters you make for them too. Looking forward to making clothes for my little stuffed cuties too. Thanks so much!! Warm wishes from Oregon.

So glad to have found your channel. New subbie here. I used to make mohair bears but haven’t knitted one, so I’m inclined to have a go. I love the blanket pattern but I prefer fine crochet work really and I love vintage. Beautiful though. Tfs

Hi Helen. Your Nature's Walk blanket looks very pretty. Did you happen to weigh an individual square to see how much yarn they take? I've ordered a dk advent calendar for this year and I am on the look out for the perfect blanket pattern to either knit or crochet them into. I've got 2 possibilities so far, depending on how much yarn each square needs Nature's Walk might be the third. X

Thank you Anita. I didn't actually weigh an individual square, but the blanket used up just over 500g for 48 squares plus the border, if that's any help! xx
