I cast it on today.
Or rather, she. I definitely feel like this bear is going to be a girl. It is FOR a girl, so she should be decidedly feminine. I’m not sure what colors the bedroom for the new baby girl is to be, so I dove into my stash and dug out a white, fuzzy, bouclé yarn. No, I’m not using the yarn the pattern suggests. I started to purchase some, but wasn’t sure of which colors and which yarn to buy(it had three suggestions). Then I figured exact gauge isn’t as important for a stuffed animal. Besides, I saw in my struggles to get my hands on a copy of this pattern (um, as of today,I now have two) and this person did one in bouclé yarn and it came out cute – plus I knew I had some floating around ye olde stash somewhere. Do I know the maker of the yarn? Not a clue. If I had to guess, I would say I bought it somewhere unsexy like Wal-Mart. But if the baby barfs on it, it would be nice to be able to spot clean it without fear of felting the little bugger, right?
How wouldn’t she be cute? (Have you seen the face?) I’ll probably put a pink or purple bow around the neck anyways. I dunno yet. So fun, off to get to it.
