Do you remember in grade school, when on the very first day of class, the teacher had everyone take a test? You failed the test miserably, and at the end of the school year, you'd retake the same test and pass with flying colors? That's what my first amugurumi bear is all about. I made a rule that I could not redo any of it, and as you can see, my little bear has a few blemishes and disfigurations. I'm actually happy with how he turned out - he's cute in his own sorry way. I can continue making creatures and monitor my progress based on my benchmark bear!
He may look different, but I think he fits in nicely with the other stuffed animals. Obviously I need to work on facial expressions, and it would have helped if I had attached the eyes before I stuffed and sewed his head to his body. Yes, I am aware that his left arm is smaller than his right and his right leg is bigger than his left. Please feel free to comment on any irregularities. Oh yeah, and I stuffed his tummy with pinto beans so he has some weight to him. I'm hoping Rosco will play with him, because I don't think anyone else will. On to the next one!
Note to Sparkyz Problem: I already know all your derogatory comments, so don't waste your finger sweat typing them out.

AWWWW! He's so cute! He's so tall and just a little bit gangly. Adorable! You did such an awesome job with your first amigurumi!! Will you make more bears or other animals? I can't wait to see your next creation.
I'm making a big teddy bear this time, and it will be the same colors. I only bought two skeins(cream and blue) I didn't know if this would be a project I would complete. I learned late in my first bear that I was not crocheting correctly, and I think I have straightened that out. You'll have to evaluate my technique when you get here.
Grandma? Grandma, is that you?
