My last 2 classes were success! :)
I think all 22 blanketeers had good time and left with beautiful handknitted blanket.

Thank you for taking your time to attend this class. I appreciate everyone!

I'll be in Abilene for next couple weeks if you still interested in hosting private class you have time. Just pm me and we'll go from there :)

Got new dates confirmed with 10X Energy & Nutrition to host my last 2 chunky blanket classes!
March 30 and April 6 (both days Saturdays)
From 1-4 PM. As always, $85 per person with yarn included!

Before I advertised this class on social media for sign ups I'm posting here first to see if anyone is interested. I will also get back to those who wanted to attend my class in the past but either day or time didn't work. I got a whole list! Haha

So If you have been wanting to attend my class but couldn't, this is it! Sign up now! :)
Space is limited, we can only fit 10 people.
I won't be hosting any more public classes BUT I will be open for private classes, which is also limited.

I hope to meet some of y'all. Message me if you would like to sign up or if you have any questions.

PS. for private class I need at least 7 people to sign up. It's same cost of $85 per person with yarn included.

This weekend was busy and I'm very grateful for these moments and people just trusting me with this class.
Two classes were back to back. One was scheduled for Saturday and private class on Sunday.
We had a lot of fun knitting and socializing. With private classes it's even more fun because it's all your friends or people you know :) so you get a chance to catch up with everyone while learning new skill!

I'm planning on hosting my FINAL 2 public classes in a month or so BUT I will be open for booking private classes. If you have been wanting to take my class please keep an eye on my page. I will post new days/time soon

It's been a minute!

I'm back with good news. I will be hosting my first blanket workshop of 2024 at 10X Energy & Nutrition January 20th (Sat.) from 1:00-3:00 PM. I'm really not sure when next class is going to be so this is it 😁

As always, class is $85 per person and everything is included into price. Yarn (colors of your choice), my instructions, and light snacks from the owner of 10X Energy & Nutrition.

I've been teaching this class for 4 years and it is ALWAYS fun. We get to talk and be social while you learn new skill!

If you would like to sign up or have questions please reach out to me :)

This was smaller class and I like it because it always feels more intimate. We get to know each other and share stories while you create your cozy piece of art 😁

This is such a great skill to learn for Christmas gifts! Once you learn how to knit these blankets you can knit more on your own 🧢

I think it's pretty cool 😎

October is just perfect time to knit some cozy blankets! Hopefully weather cools off soon so you can enjoy your new chunky blanket :)

I opened October 21st for class. 1-4PM!

Sign up is simple. Send me message with the day that works best for you. After you sign up to class please mark that day in your calendar and make sure you can join my class. I am saving spot for you so please be considerate. Once class is full I don't take anyone else because I can only fit so much people.

I also understand that things happen and sometimes people can't make it. I do not require deposit. You pay the day of class.

Hope to see you and get to know you a little :)

26/09/2023

Next class sign up is October 21st and 28th (both days are Saturdays) from 1-4PM.
Please send me PM if you would like to sign up to any of these days :)

As always this class is $85 per person (yarn included), and previous knitting experience is NOT required.

This is always a fun class where you get to socialize with fellow blanketeers and leave class with cozy blanket and ready for use.

Classes from last 2 weeks! This is my favorite part of having this knitting business. Chunky blanket classes are the best and everyone loves it. (Unless they are pretending) haha
You leave with an item that you just made and ready for use and you also learned new skill.

Some new wreaths we've made over this past week.

But can I brag for a second on how cuttte these Bunny Butt Wreaths turned out πŸ˜†
It started as an experiment, just like almost anything else I have, using some wires, hot glue, cotton tube, and creativity!

Absolutely love it!

I hope you do too because I can make them in other colors as well such as teal, mustard, grey, caramel, navy, burgundy and mauve with any color of pom. I got tons of big fluffy POMS!

Please PM or comment if you would like to buy one ready or order custom Bunny Butt for your door :)))

Note: I don't have any of these wreaths listed on website. Sorry for inconvenience.

January such a dead month for small businesses.

Kind of interesting that most of businesses slow down in January, February, and March. I wonder if that's because consumers are spending this time hunkered down and in saving mode until Spring. Pretty sure the answer is "Yes" and I'm one of those consumers πŸ˜†

This slow time can be valuable for small businesses. Now’s your chance to do what you normally don’t have time to do: instead of workingΒ inΒ your business, you can workΒ onΒ your business.Β Riiight?

▢️ Work on your website.
▢️ Create new product, test it, list it.
▢️ Good time to restock with supplies, especially if you have to wait.
▢️ Improve any other platform you are seling from.
▢️ Videos. Better pictures.
▢️ Take a business class. Webinar.

If you are small business, side hustle, how are you doing? πŸ™‚πŸ™ƒ

I'm officially back! This time I'm back for real πŸ˜†
I was going to just take 2 weeks off but somehow 2 weeks turned into a whole month I know, right?

I don't feel too bad about it because maybe I just needed that break. I worked hard last 4 months before all those holidays. So much work was put into Bear Hugg. So many events, pop ups, orders, and just everything!

I'm ready to rock and roll this year and I have few things planned.

βž• Add few more new products!
βž• Create DIY video tutorials!
βž• Put up all my yarn for sale!
βž• Add more colors to chenille yarn

That's it and that's a lot, especially when you run small business on your own but I got this! Please tell me I got this πŸ˜† I need more encouragement so I can push myself to be the best version of Bear Hugg.

PS: can you guess what it is on the picture?

My new addition to chunky chenille blankets are my OMBRE blankets !

Only with πŸ‘‰ Bear Hugg

If you think of a cool color combo let me know in comments and I will make it happen πŸ’™

12/12/2021

This color is so hard to capture omg it pi**es me off πŸ˜…

I guess this is my best at getting as close as I can to it's true color. I took like 50 pics!

It's such vibrant and deep blue color in person but on pictures it's just kinda meh...lol

Now let me remind you friends. These blankets are heavy! I don't advertise them as weighted blankets but fact is they are heavy. All my cotton tube blankets are 7 lbs. If you need it heavier and bigger just reach out to me and I'll do my best to get one done for you :)

They are also washable and pretty durable!

These cotton tube blankets are not sold in stores. They are only available through small business like my business who specializes in these chunky knit blankets. You also have Etsy to play around but it will cost you arm and a leg to get one πŸ˜†

All right, I'm off to finish packing this order in hopes it gets to it's new owner by Christmas :)

Lova ya! πŸ’™
