Fiber Trends the pattern and yarn shop is offering us the opportunity to have four of you win one of their absolutely delightful toy animal patterns.  I pictured two of my favorites here and your joyous task is to go to the Fiber Trends Shop and choose your favorite little critter (there are two pages of pattern).  When you have decided on the one you’d like to win type your favorite in the comment section and you will be entered.  Bev from Fiber Trends is being so generous by offering these adorable patterns and I want to thank her and Fiber Trends. Be sure to look over the suggested yarns for each pattern so you can purchase the appropriate yarns when you win.  Also look at all their amazing patterns and yarns. This contest will run from April 14 through April 24 midnight.

 

Fiber Trends began in the fall of 1994 with the printing of one pattern, followed by five more the next month. From the beginning, Fiber Trends’ patterns were sold through retail yarn stores and it has been the continued support of these stores that has allowed us to grow the line to over 200 patterns. We were based in Bellingham WA until 2001 when we moved to E. Wenatchee which is on the sunny side of our great State. After settling in Wenatchee, chose to celebrate our 10th anniversary by venturing into the yarn business and in 2005 Fiber Trends became the exclusive US distributor of Naturally New Zealand Yarns. This meant moving to the warehouse shown here and hiring some wonderful, and efficient, employees who remain with us today.

    I love the Alpacas and Llamas pattern!

  2. Kathi Krzyzaniak on April 14, 2009 10:23 am

    FT206 – A Flock Felt

    My #1 choice is the sheep pattern. The hedgehog is cute too, and the penguin. All of them are cute!!

  3. Angela S on April 14, 2009 10:45 am

    I love fiber trends patterns! I already have the hedgehog, so I’d have to choose the squirrels as my next favorite. They look like real squirrels!

  4. Robyn T. on April 14, 2009 12:09 pm

    I love the hedgehog! He’s my number 1 choice. I really hope I win, can’t wait to make him.

  5. tracy on April 14, 2009 12:13 pm

    Eeek! Sooo cute. My favorite by a landslide: the sweet Felt Huggable Hedgehogs! Thank you heaps :D

  6. Heidi on April 14, 2009 12:39 pm

    I did not have to look too far to find a favorite. All of the patterns look adorable, but when squirrels are an option, squirrels are definitely the choice! FT229 Nuts About Squirrels – felted
    Too cute!

  7. Sharon Rose on April 14, 2009 12:48 pm

    Oh I hope I win! I’ve made two of the llamas (see them under my Ravelry projects – I’m Needlegrrl) and I need that hedgehog! :)

  8. Heide on April 14, 2009 12:49 pm

    Oh, the sheepies are so adorable!

  9. LilChickadee on April 14, 2009 1:15 pm

    If I had to pick one, I’d pick the hedgehog pattern (FT228 Felt Huggable Hedgehogs). They are just adorable!

  10. Paula on April 14, 2009 1:22 pm

    The hedgehog is my favorite, so cute!

  11. Kenyetta on April 14, 2009 1:25 pm

    So hard to choose just one! I love the koala bears!

  12. Carmen on April 14, 2009 1:42 pm

    I love the squirrels (FT299 – Nuts About Squirrels) and the hedgehog (FT228). But it was hard to choose – they’re all very cute!

  13. Liz on April 14, 2009 2:07 pm

    I’d have to pick the squirrel pattern. They look so cute!

  14. Brenda on April 14, 2009 2:40 pm

    I love the flamingo and also the hedgehog, it was so hard to choose, all the animals were adorable.

  15. Stephanie Baker on April 14, 2009 3:27 pm

    They are all super-adorable, but my favorite is the “A Felt Flock” pattern. Thank you for the fun opportunity! I found your blog recommended on ThisNext.

  16. Turtle on April 14, 2009 6:37 pm

    all are adorable but for me, it is a toss up between the felt flock or the squirrel!

  17. Elaine on April 14, 2009 7:02 pm

    Really tough choice but I think the hedgehog wins on cuteness.

  18. Lauria on April 14, 2009 7:20 pm

    A felt flock would be my choice. These are super cute!

  19. Sarah L on April 14, 2009 8:57 pm

    As a mum of three boys how could I go past the geckos!!!!

  20. Nikki on April 14, 2009 9:23 pm

    So hard to choose… but I was definitely drawn to the geckos.

  21. Amanda on April 14, 2009 11:30 pm

    Definitely the squirrels!

  22. Colleen on April 15, 2009 5:20 am

    The hedgehog and Fido are my favorites. I have done the sheep. They are easy and fun patterns.

  23. Marti Aust on April 15, 2009 6:13 am

    I just love them all too hard to choose

  24. Rachel O on April 15, 2009 6:14 am

    It’s a toss-up for me between the hedgehog and the flamingo. How about when (optimism) I make the choice :-)

  25. Shirley on April 15, 2009 6:40 am

    Since my nickname given to me by my sisters is Squirley……..I’d have to go with the squirrels.

  26. Carolyn on April 15, 2009 7:07 am

    The koalas are soooooo cute! And so is the hedgehog :) Actually they all are…

  27. Jersey Jessie on April 15, 2009 8:23 am

    They’re all so cute. I think the hedgehog wins, but I might already have that one (I know I’ve bought several of these but not yet made any – soon). I vote for the hedgehog or maybe the squirrels, or maybe the flamingo, or maybe …

  28. Carla on April 15, 2009 8:30 am

    Jessie just showed me the contest and I neeeeeed at least one of these. I agree – they are all too cute for words so I think I’ll wait to pick my favorite.

  29. Tricia on April 15, 2009 10:02 am

    Definitely cute, all of them! I think the one most in line with the skills at our house is the hen (FT209 Henrietta & Family – Felt hen and chicks).

  30. Chrissy on April 15, 2009 10:09 am

    I love the Felted Fido. I’d make it black like my own little Fido!

  31. blogless in NJ on April 15, 2009 11:40 am

    Hmmm – all so very cute. My husband is a birder and would love the owls, daughter #1 would say ooooh about the hedgehog, daughter #2 would likely pick the squirrels, and me, I think it’s too tough to choose, so if I win we’ll have a family contest and pick the prize.

  32. Tracy on April 15, 2009 11:58 am

    Sheep, of course, are my favorite animal!

  33. Tamara on April 15, 2009 1:12 pm

    My favorite pattern would have to be the hedgehog! So cute!!!

  34. Kristen on April 15, 2009 1:39 pm

    They are all really cute, but I think my favorite of the moment is the squirrel pattern. :)

  35. etty on April 15, 2009 2:03 pm

    The lambs are adorable and my favorite.

  36. Sue K on April 15, 2009 2:23 pm

    My BFF has one of the lambs and I have to admit that I love it so much, I have seriously considered pilfering it. If I had one, it will probably save our friendship :)

  37. Marvel Nofziger on April 15, 2009 3:33 pm

    I love the “Bunny Fun.”

  38. blogless in NJ on April 15, 2009 3:56 pm

    It’s a toss-up. I think my fav is the hedgehog, but it might be the flamingo or squirrel.

  39. Chris Davis on April 15, 2009 4:15 pm

    Oooh, they’re all cute! That little hedgehog narrowly edged out the sheep as my favorite.

  40. Mujercita on April 15, 2009 7:08 pm

    I’d love the Nuts about Squirrels pattern!

  41. talitha on April 15, 2009 8:13 pm

    the hedgehog is by far my fav. can’t quite put my finger on why, but it is. thank for the opportunity to maybe win. peace.

  42. Chia on April 15, 2009 8:15 pm

    It was hard to choose between the squirrels and the hedgehog. It will have to be the hedgehog.

  43. Maria on April 15, 2009 9:13 pm

    It’s a tough choice, but it has to be the hedgehog. I love the hedgehog!

  44. quinn on April 16, 2009 1:47 am

    So hard to choose amongst so many!

    The squirrel wins by a nose :)

  45. Fionaken on April 16, 2009 3:16 am

    They are all gorgeous. I would have to choose the hedgehog.

  46. sara on April 16, 2009 3:38 am

    FT201 Felt Baby Bears with Hats is my favourites though I did almost go for the Koala’s as I used to love them as a child. hugs Sara

  47. Tom on April 16, 2009 7:19 am

    The manly choice … is the hedgehog.

    All are so cute and would be fun to make.

  48. Roz (AmIAKnitterYet) on April 16, 2009 10:31 am

    I have to choose?! I actually pick the buddy bear and bones. I like the idea of knitting something for our dog. the kids will get a kick out of it too.

    Thank you.

  49. KJo on April 17, 2009 6:16 am

    I love the Koalas and the Geckos! I would be sooooo happy to have either. I might actually buy them…. After the end of the contest of course!

    KJo

  50. Ellie on April 17, 2009 9:03 am

    Alpacas! My husband wanted them badly, but fortunately didn’t get them. A felted one would be manageable.

  51. Sylvia on April 17, 2009 7:43 pm

    I love the hedgehog best (but I may already have bought him) I know I have the sheep and maybe the llamas. If I win – I’ll run and check to make sure I don’t already have him.

  52. PunkBunny on April 18, 2009 5:58 am

    I love the Koalas and the Alpacas and Llamas! Please pick me? =D
    I really want to make the Llamas!

  53. Kim R. on April 18, 2009 8:19 am

    Please enter me in your great giveaway – I love the Here, Kitty, Kitty pattern.
    Thank you!

  54. trek on April 18, 2009 1:59 pm

    I love that little sheep!

  55. Jill Swanson on April 19, 2009 9:07 am

    It is so hard to pick, but I am partial to the Lambs. Thanks for a chance to win and showing me a great website. Jill S

  56. maria on April 20, 2009 9:16 pm

    This is so hard, they are all so cute.But I think that I will have to go with the sheep.
    Thanks for showing me this great website.Cheers

  57. Alanna on August 10, 2009 11:56 am
