Illogical

Another one for the "Now I've seen everything" annals . . . Spock ears!

Spare me, Obi-Wan

From the category of "Now I've seen everything" . . . The Leia Hat.

Doesn't look like a bear, does it?

But these are all the parts finally knitted to make a small one. I still haven't made it to Hobby Lobby yet to see if they have safety eyes and joints. I don't know when that will happen so I don't know when there will be a completed bear. Today is such a miserable day I don't feel much like going outside.

Lions and tigers and bears! Oh, my!

Would you believe this little bit of yarn is going to be a teddy bear? Doesn't look like much, does it?


I had already had half the body done and set aside when I realized I'd made a serious mistake on it. I frogged the piece and that little ball of yarn is how much half the body took. I'm almost done with the other half.

This is just a test to see how complicated knitting a bear is. I suspect the knitting part will be easy and the construction part will be . . . well . . . pardon the pun . . . a bear. I have no idea whether the local Hobby Lobby or even WalMart carry the safety eyes for stuffed animals or the joints to give them movable parts. I will probably find that out tomorrow. If I can't find any of that stuff locally, it may be a while before a finished bear wanders in and makes himself at home.

The pattern for the bear comes from this book:
