Below are some examples of my knitted bears,   I have noticed that there are only a few teddy bear artist that knit/crochet there teddies and was wondering if my teddies would be good enough to sell.  Have sold a few to family and friends but am interested in making some money from my hobby (which I am sure we all are).

Any comments, advice would be most welcome!!

They are lovely, I especially like Grumpy  , there are quite a few artists out there, mainly crochet I would say, if you look on the dreaded EBay lol you will see quite a few miniature crochet bear. As regards to selling yes why not, I started by selling to family and friends, I also did local craft fairs, You could try EBay but competition is fierce. The best advice I can give you is set up a Facebook page and sell from there. Best of luck. Xx

thank you.  I have taken the plunge  and set up blog and facebook page.  Have already done some local fairs and sold to family - have a feeling family DON'T want any more teddies.

Lambkins and Blue are my favourites.  They look like they just need a cuddle ( so cute ). I think your bears are good I dont sell things myself but I'm sure if thats what you wanted to do your creations are good enough. X
