Bugging me

I finished my knitted bug project today, based on the "Mr. Bee Happy" pattern below but using colors I had available.

I used a larger loom, and instead of gluing on a face, I embroidered features using a chain stitch. The "2 over 4" method produced a thick fabric on the loom; next time, I think I'll try a different wrap method.

I went into the form from the top and the bottom, where I'd stuffed and gathered it. 

Then, after finishing the features with the working yarn, I brought the yarn back through to join the other end, knotted them together, and tucked the ends into the stuffing. 

I added arms and hands, then placed a yarn flower in one of the hands. I also sewed some felt wings onto the back, using the same method as the rest of the features.

It's growing on me.
