Beary ... something

I've been working for several days on a knitting loom teddy bear, using some of the instructions for the little bee I'd tried before.

Using my denim baby yarn, I constructed the body, stuffed it, then stitched on the limbs I'd made on my french knitter. Each leg is 15 rows of stitching. About halfway through stitching on the arms, I still wasn't convinced this was going to be a worthwhile effort. After one ear, that hadn't changed.

Please love me!

But I was excited to learn how to make bear ears from this online video:

The video is very easy to follow, even when making a tiny ear on the french knitter. After securing the second ear and adding a face, the little guy started to grow on me. 


So I made him a tiny hat.
