\"BearI’ve been knitting again. Feels good to get back to the needles. Over the last week, I’ve managed to knit the back, front, two arms and one and a bit legs. Actually, I finished the second leg just now but I’d already taken to the picture so I’ll do a revised one tomorrow after I sew up the seams.<\/p>\n

I’ve made this bear several times. It’s the Whidbey Bear pattern<\/a> from Bear Brain Enterprises<\/a>. I’ve made the bear from all kinds of different yarns. This time I’m using one strand of Lion Brand Jiffy in dark grey and one strand in light grey. I’m also using one strand of Lion Brand Fun Fur in multicolors (grey, black, white). So it makes the bear sort of fuzzy but totally washable. Depending on what yarn you use the size of the bear changes from very small and petite to quite large. The resulting bears make great gifts for nieces and nephew, charities, and the babies of friends.<\/p>\n

The pattern is well written with no errors that I have found — well, a few user-errors but that’s my problem, not theirs. Of course every bear you make is different because you have to sculpt the faces and add the nose and eyes. I’m hoping to document the making of this bear this time and thought I’d put it up here just in case someone else was interested.<\/p>\n

What you see is the pieces just lying on a floor. Hopefully, tomorrow I’ll get a chance to sew the different parts up so it looks like a body, arms and legs. We’ll see if tomorrow goes as planned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
