Today I finished my second bear. I used the same "Little Bear" pattern, and somehow it turned out totally different than the first bear. I think something got lost in translation from Japanese to English with the arm and leg patterns. I had to make up some of the stitches or the arms and legs would be smaller than the ears! That's why bear #2's left leg is chubbier than her right leg. Tony says this bear is an improvement, but the head should still be much larger. I'm sure he'll have alot more to say about it on his blog. The eyes are difficult - I don't have plastic eyes that are small enough, so I have to sew them on. The yarn wouldn't stay put, so I painted clear fingernail polish on them. I thought that would make them glimmer, too.
I I don't know the difference between crocheting and knitting. Connor's hat is evidently knitted. Can you tell the difference? Obviously, Connor's hat is a little small for his head, but we were just playing. I think he looks weird with a hat on, because his hairline is such a defining trait for him.
