I have't finished that pink bear yet - I believe I said I was working on it... we had a power outage late yesterday afternoon for 1 1/2 hours, and I worked on it until I really couldn't see well anymore. Got the body and legs finished, and now need to start sewing it up, adding the arms and stuffing. Here she is in her dismantled state... _________________________ ...... ... stated by a very wise friend...

The reason I like this pattern, is that the body and legs are knit from bottom over the top to bottom again. The only thing that needs to be added are the arms. Lots of sewing up, but I don't mind that. It's hard to believe that this will be a plump bear, but it really works! _________________________ ...... ... stated by a very wise friend...

jonni13 jonni13 Webkinz Queen Garden Helper Registered: 11/12/05 Posts: 16181 Loc: So. Cal.	It is really nifty to see it unfinished, Lynne. I have made several projects (crochet) where I was following a pattern and had no idea where it was beginning from. I would be more than halfway finished before I would 'see' what I was making and say "AHA!" _________________________ ~Tina It is only your very best friends who see who you really are and love you anyway.

I usually put off doing the face, 'cause I don't really know what I'm doing, but this one went pretty smoothly. Hard to believe it's the same thing from above, huh? I was hoping to give her to a girl in Don's office - we went to her wedding 2 summers ago - but he just told me she's having a boy! What IS with all the boys these days?!? _________________________ ...... ... stated by a very wise friend...

I have 3 girls, 2 boys and a few foster kids in there. The boys take my vote) _________________________ ~Tina It is only your very best friends who see who you really are and love you anyway.

I've been wanting to try this pattern for a few months now. Can you guess what it is? Nooooooo - it's NOT a bib! I just LOVE these buttons that I found at WalMart yesterday - they go so well with the yarn!!! _________________________ ...... ... stated by a very wise friend...

jonni13 jonni13 Webkinz Queen Garden Helper Registered: 11/12/05 Posts: 16181 Loc: So. Cal.	Those buttons are perfect, Lynne. If it isn't a bib, I have no idea what this could be. That looks way too large to be a neck opening if a sweater or anything. _________________________ ~Tina It is only your very best friends who see who you really are and love you anyway.

plants 'n pots plants 'n pots Purl One Garden Helper Registered: 11/12/03 Posts: 23958 Loc: Rockland County, NY	All terrific guesses everyone, but... NOPE! I stayed up 'til 1:30 this morning to get to this point of the project. On Friday, I had to frog 25 rows!!! Because I made the project just a teensy bit bigger than it calls for, and things were NOT falling into place. I hope I have gotten it right now, and I only have 1 last part to knit and then sew on the buttons. Any new guesses? _________________________ ...... ... stated by a very wise friend...
