Harry Bear - finished

This is Harry Bear that I knitted with Berroco's chincilla that I acquired from Heather. Thanks Heather for the yarn. It took only 1 skein to complete the project.
For the scarf, I used a cotton yarn I found from Spotlight. It came without the ribbon, so no info on the yarn.

My mom didn't believe I knitted this myself. Haha.. Anyway, it was a quick knit-maybe 1 weekend. The only problem I had was with sewing the eyes & nose. My sewing skill is probably below standard.. haha

Harry Bear

After receiving my Berroco chincilla shipment, I immediately worked on Harry bear. The bear was quick to knit, only a weekend.
Below is Harry at 70% completion, around 3-5 hrs of knitting I guess. I am careless at the short row and with mini interruptions here & there, I had to redo it quite often



So far I've completed both pieces and have sewed up 90% -save the opening for stuffing. Oh, I stuff the bear as I sew so that he has nice definition.
The only problem now is that I don't know how to sew the eyes and nose. My attempt failed miserably and I'm just picking up courage when I can do it again.

Knitting the bear was such a joy, the yarn is so smooth. I think I used Knitpicks options. I washed it before stuffing though, not realizing that it is meant for handwash only.. the color bled big time.

Anyway, yes I need to take updated pic and need to quickly knit it. The people who have seen the bear are so in love with it....

Birthday

It was my birthday last month. And I didn't get a knitting related present from DH. Instead, he gave me Nintendo DS in April when I was sick. He came back from overseas (I was sick then) and gave me a bouquet of sunflowers plus my birthday present. The pink Nintendo DS, clear case, strap, and DS games. Not the cheap ones or the accompanying games. He gave me Final Fantasy (that I've been addicted to), Pokemon Blue, some puzzle & Mario Bros.

I also received Knit2gether book from Denise that was wrapped in a very nice book and crocheted flowers. She did a remarkable job with the flowers. I am amazed and I thank God for such a friend.

Now it is another friend's birthday that's coming and I realize I have only few days to give her something. So off last night I designed a wristwarmer pattern for her and proceeded to knit for her. Hope she likes it and hope that it's on time.

Here is what it looks like. I am going to call it Di wristwarmer - naming it after the recipient.


Is it nice?
