These little bears have been in the basket and on the floor by my favorite sunny spot for weeks then they were on the table for days, parts all over the place. They tried growling at me to finish them but it was more of a mumble since they didn’t have a mouth. I really don’t like mumbling maybe I should fix that. Stitching the ears in place is such fussy work, and I just don’t like sewing knitting together that must be why I always knit top down sweaters and toe up socks. Like so many things once I made up my mind to do it it wasn’t so bad, by the fourth ear it was almost easy. They are less than symmetrical but they are done. I figured out the slickest trick to place the ears…..put the hat on their little stuffed with fluff head…..the ear openings are in the perfect spots! I just love using the leftover bits from other projects this yarn was an extra skein from a sweater then I ran out of yarn fortunately I knit a swatch for the sweater so I ripped the swatch to finish the body of the bear, I figured that would be covered with clothes.
Next to knit a wardrobe for these little bears and they are staying at grandmas house. Ann

They are absolutely the sweetest little bears, mumblers or not! :)
So cute! I made a bear for a little guy and now he's in high school playing the drums. How did that happen?
Oh, Ann, these bears are positively adorable! Their expressions, the ears, the sweet feet--all of them: adorable! And the variegated grey fabric is so perfect. They make me wish I had the inclination to knit.
Your bears are adorable! I'd keep them at my house, too!
