Bears meet girls

 The little bears got to meet their little girls this past weekend. The first thing the girls noticed was the hats of which I did not get a good picture. When Olivia pulled the dress out of the bag she thought It was a hat. Guess what my next little knitting project will be??  I need to knit some pants or skirts without bibs and suspenders too, they were a source of frustration.  It was a fun weekend, it was an exhausting weekend the energy of two year old twins.  Ann

Another small finish

 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
