FO #9 - Teddy Bear




What is it? Teddy Bear from Mother Bear Project. I found the idea for this on Another Blog
What needles did you use? Aluminum #7
What kind of yarn is that? Leftover Manetto Hill Yarnery Chorus, Color 27, along with Lion-Brand Wool-Ease
Who's it for? I haven't decided if I'm going to send it to Mother Bear Project or if I'm going to give it to Kimberly, or if I'll send it to the sister that is getting the hat (she's on a missionary trip, and maybe there will be a kid that could use it)
Anything else? This was a cute way to use up extra yarn. I would like to create my own teddy bear pattern using circular needles, but we'll have to see if I make it that far.

FO #8-ish - Hat


What is it? Kim's Hat Pattern from Last Minute Knitted Gifts

What needles did you use? Susan Bates Quicksilver Circ Size 9, and Bamboo DPNs

What kind of yarn is that? Manetto Hill Yarnery Chorus, Color 27 (I got it at Tuesday Morning)

Who's it for? Not really sure - maybe my sister that is spending a year in a country far far away (where it's supposed to be so cold that she is not shaving her legs while she's gone)

Anything else? I bought the needles from a small shop in Lake Tahoe (The Wool Tree) while on vacation. The women who owned the shop was AWESOME! She led me away from the Addi's, which were twice as much, explaining that the Quicksilver's were still pretty nice, and she was right! They have a good weight, not too light, like another pair of plastic needles I bought in the UK 6 years ago. She also gave me two stitch markers when she found out that I was just going to use a paper clip (I didn't like the stitch markers she was selling, but the ones she had were just like the ones I had left at home)

** The reason this is 8-ish is that I have completed 1 other blanket, and 2 carseat blankets (crocheted), but as I don't have pictures of them, they don't "count" **
