Brennon and Bailey Nielson: Intro to Bagle's Beanies

Today I will give you a small intro to Bagle's Beanies. Where did you come up with Bagle? It is spelled wrong? Well in high school I took the stats for the wrestling team. Each year I received a hoodie and on the sleeve it said B. Argyle (maiden name). So the wrestlers started to call me Bargle :) Very unique nickname. Then they decided it was just too "manly" so we changed it to Bagle. The name has always stuck :)

I started to crochet about 3 years ago. My mother-in-law taught me how to make hot pads because it was one continuous stitch. Slowly for me that was just to boring :) I turned on the tv one day and seen they were crocheting granny squares. So I decided that I would try some. Then after I made a few I thought I just may as well make a blanket. So I made a blanket big enough to cover a full size blanket for my mom. I made it to match my room at home.

I started looking online for patterns that I could slowly crochet and I seen the famous owl beanies :) of course I just HAD to make one! Luckily my husband's cousin was having an open house for her little one Ammon to come into the world :) so I was so excited to give it to her :)

It isn't a very good picture but it was my very first picture :) Slowly I started getting more and more requests for this beanie. Then just making owl beanies wasn't enough for me! I had to find more beanies to make. It was easy money for me I thought. Never did I realize that this was going to be my favorite thing!! I make beautiful things with yarn ;) So I decided that I was going to make some beanies for my nieces and nephews. We have 13! We had a reunion coming up and I thought I could make it my deadline to get it all done. By the time the reunion came I still had 6 to make. I never thought I could get them finished....but I did! Never have my fingers moved so fast in my life. (I can crochet a lot faster now). I finished the last beanie right before we had the pictures taken :)

Here they are!!

Later after that one of my friends told me to start my Etsy account. I set it up and it boomed within a few weeks! :) So now here I am :) I will show you close ups of these beanies and hope that you enjoy them. Keep in mind that most are Disney Inspired. They are in no way affiliated with the movie makers :) They just give me inspiration :) (Pinterest does too :) )
