Introduction Hello, I am Dale and I am the Bear smith of Wicked Bear Fibers. I started making and designing bears 3 years ago February 2011. I worked in a local Knit shop, and was introduced to Isabella Hoffman, by a mutual friend. I have been knitting at the time for 30 years or so. Isabella had this bear that was made out of white alpaca. He was so cool. He fit in the palm of my hand, and his eyes looked into my soul, and said Hello!!! I think that is where I got hooked. I met up with Isabella in June where she said, she would teach me to make bears, but with one condition that I would teach the love of bears to someone or anyone else that want to learn to make bears, when it came to that time. So here we are, Wicked Bear Fibers, where I make Wicked Bears from Wicked Fibers!!! You can visit my web site after the show is over to view and read my story at: wickedbearfibers.com Also, sign up for my email listing for new bear shows or announcements at wickedbearfibers@gmail.com I have now been a knitter for good 33 years now. I do a lot of knitting and felting for my bears.
