Tofu

[Bendy]

SWFiber yarn company has a new addition to their yarn line. It is a little
bear named Tofu.

Tofu is made from soy. He is very cute!

Tofu wanted to see the world so SWFiber thought it would be interesting to
let Tofu pack his bags and camera and go on trips and write about his
adventures. On his first trip he went to Ohio. He was supposed to go to
California after that but something happened, not sure what. Actually I
think he went to California but forgot to write home. You know how bears
are :)

Anyway, I wanted to let everyone know that yesterday Tofu came to Missouri
to visit me. He will be here for a couple of weeks and I will make sure he
writes.

He doesn't know it yet, but he is actually here so that I can design
something for him. Crochet! magazine hired him to be a model and he is
supposed to wear his new design at the photo shoot when he goes to Indiana.
Shhhhhhhh

If you are interested in reading about his adventures, which hopefully he
will update daily, go to http://www.tofubear.com/Blog.html (http://www.tofubear.com/Blog.html)

hello!
Tofu bear's adventure are really funny to read, but they lack crochet stuff to spy over :D
Thanks for the link anyway!

I didn't get to keep Tofu as long as I originally thought I was going to. So he will be coming back so I can design something for him. What type of crochet things are you interested in Tofu including in his blog? If you will let me know, I will have a talk with him and see what we can work out.

Why, thank you for asking!
I love crocheted sweaters and tops, all those things with a lacy flair in them... perhaps not the most suitable for a bear :lol
by the way, I didn't find where I could buy this soy yarn tafu is made of...
I browse the site though :(

Tofu has come back to visit. Over the next couple of weeks he will be blogging about his adventures and the design process from beginning to end. If you would like to read his blog, go to http://www.soysilk.com/ then scroll down the list of options on the left to Tofu's travels.

Just wanted to say that I like working with SWTC's Karaoke. I'll try to check into Tofu's blog every once in awhile to see what he's up to. Have fun traveling.

Tofu is adorable! However, when I tried to read his blog I got a message that the RSS feed was invalid. :think Any ideas?

[Bendy]

You have to go through the swtrading web site, you can't go directly to his blog. Go to http://www.soysilk.com/ then scroll down the list of options on the left and click on Tofu's travels.

Hi Everyone,

I am just having fun with the Tofu bear. He has to decide between 2 samples which sweater he would like for me to make for him for the TNNA show that he is going to. Whichever one is picked, I will blog about the process of making the sweater for that sample. Tofu wants help picking the right one. If you would like to help Tofu pick out which sweater he will be wearing at TNNA and or which sweater will be blogged about please leave comments on his blog.

Go to http://www.soysilk.com/ then scroll down and click Tofu's Travels. There are 4 entries so far and you can scroll down and read all of them. He he blogging daily, except over the holiday.

As a disclaimer, I am not being paid for this, just having fun. I just thought people would enjoy seeing how a sweater is designed.

Thanks for your help.
