OK, I think I'm a little burnt out on teddies for the moment. I suppose that's what happens when you make six of them in two weeks. As you can see, I got more creative as time went on, and I certainly got better at embroidering their faces! The green one is my favorite; it was my first attempt at a fair isle pattern, so I learned a lot about pulling too tight, and also about what happens when you accidentally read the chart backwards for a row. I'll send off my teddies to Mother Bear Project soon. And maybe I'll make another den of bears when the urge strikes again!

(P.S. The maroon one has a really cool cable pattern that doesn't show up at all in the photo.)

4 Sarah... OH MY GOSH!!! My dad taped some Knitty Gritty shows after you were talking about them - and I was so excited that he got the "Knitting for Peace" one. I am amazed at the fair isle pattern The green one is definitely my favorite, too. Your own "Knitsters" miss you a lot.

7 Love the blue and white one on the far right. He's clearly a referee of some sort of Bear Football League. TOUCHDOWN! Charlie isn't trying to eat these,is he?
