Meet "Scribbles"

I just finished this little guy up last night. I finished his I-cord neck tie this morning. :-D I wasn't sure how he would turn out. (I was using two strands of WW held together, and it seemed like it was going to be too stiff. Plus it didn't look like a bear, LOL!) But once I got it sewn up; and the arms, ears and eyes on, it looked like a bear~ and I fell in love with him!! But I had to give him to my six year old, who I was making him for. :( (His left leg isn't wonky, it must have got squished under him, when I put him on the couch to take his picture..) I have crocheted lots of bears, but this is my very first knitted bear. I used a pattern from an old Family Circle Easy Knitting magazine I have. (Fall '98). It was pretty vague~ but I kind of like those kind of patterns. We went to a site with teddy bear names , cuz he couldn't think of a good name. So I read off all the names to him; and he picked Scribbles, or Cinnamon. I liked Scribbles better, for him. Cinnamon not so much. Maybe if he was a brown bear. :P I like knitting bears, I think I foresee lots more knitted bears in the future-- now that I know how easy they are. (Maybe with only one strand, it will be even more easy next time...) :D
