Nick Park Teddy Bear Pattern?

Alan Dart, the name of the designer was Alan Dart........Nick Park belongs to Gromit doesn't he....silly woman, Wendy

You could try the Sirdar site at:

seem to have older Sirdar patterns, including Alan Dart'spatterns, and a "contact us" facility so if you e-mail them they may beable to help.

There is another site at:

one stocks Alan Dart books as well as Jean Greenhowe patterns. Thereare rather a lot of them so it could take some time to check through themall.

Good luck in your search Bernadette

Yes I *do* hate when that happens! One of those things just happened to me this week in fact. I had been looking through some of my son't woodworking magazines to find some smaller items that he could make and I might be able to sell at a flea market... when it hit me that nowhere among his books was the thick Whirligig book that I had bought my Dad years ago. I know that my Dad gave a couple of the magazines I had bought him to my Uncle after he had his first stroke and he knew there was no chance of him being able to work with power tools again, and that my Mom gave the same uncle the rest of Daddy's magazines after he passed away (Matthew was only 12 and hadn't yet shown an interest in woodworking). However I know that Daddy kept that particular book (he really liked that one and I remember seeing him looking at it for hours), and I also was POSITIVE that I had kept it after he passed away... because I was sure I had been looking at it after that. Do you think I can find it now? Of course not, that would be far too easy. I called the library and asked for any books they had on making Whirligigs and was told there was only one in stock, so I went to pick it up... are you ready?.... it is the *exact* book I had bought my Dad. Matthew was looking at it with a real interest yesterday when I brought it home... so I am really going to start going through some boxes of books we never unpacked to see if it is around here or not. If I can't find it by the end of September (just giving myself a cut-off point) I will order it from a book store and get it for Matthew.

Now getting back to your particular problem... I went google searching and found what I thought was Womens Weekly homepage.

However, nowhere on that entire page do I see anything about any kind of yarnwork at all. Have they stopped putting patterns in their books?!? I used to love Womens Weekly and got a lot of really nice patterns from their magazine. Unfortunately I had a few years... between the early 80's (when Matthew was born) and 1992 when I found one of their magazines at a store down the street from the hospital when my parents had back to back strokes... when I hadn't even seen a Womens Weekly, so I don't have the pattern you're looking for. What's worse... on the website I just gave the URL for, I don't even see a "Contact Us" link. :o/ Good luck, hopefully someone has the pattern you're looking for.*hugs* Gemini

Thanks for the links, Bernadette, he does some wonderful patterns, love the dogs! Seeing as it's my daughter that's having the hizzy fit about losing the pattern I'll pass the links onto her. Wendy

It IS so frustrating, it consumes you. I found someone selling the exact copy of the pattern on UK eBay but they won't sell to OZ, now that's frustrating as well. I'll keep looking both on the net and in the cupboards, who knows, I might find sommat I else I've mislaid Wendy

That's odd. You wouldn't think it would matter *where* the buyer lives as long as they pay the postage. :o/

That's always fun... like Christmas in an off-season! ;o)
