I’ve been busy knitting new animals to join my menagerie.  I am currently working on a cat, but yesterday I finished making another bear–a brown bear with a red scarf.  I took a couple of photos along the way:

Working on the bear’s head using my knitting loom–you can see the ears emerging under the loom.

Working on the body in this photo.  I noticed the unfinished head sitting on the table looking almost as if it was watching me, and just had to take a picture.

Here is the head, body and limbs all knitted and ready to be sewn and stuffed.  It looks like a little bearskin in pieces at this point–I guess that’s what it is!

Here’s my brown bear, sewn and stuffed, with facial features sewn on and scarf around his neck.  He’s joined his companions in the antique cradle we recently bought  a flea market.   You can see pics of him and his friends at my Etsy shop. I’m eager to finish the cat so that it can join his knitted buddies.  🙂
