Spazzmanda

I’m up WAY past my bedtime, but after finishing the uber-secret DragonCon costume details tonight, I finished my Baby Bobbi Bear.

Olaf and Jeff are still working on the Ghostbusters Proton Pack so I’m writing from the comfort of my sofa. (LOVE that.)

Olaf says that the bear is ‘uniformly packed’ which I’m taking as a compliment from resident science guy. (It is, indeed stuffed well which results in an overall even, nice squishiness.)

Here it is before the face was put on:

And after:

I’m so pleased with this project. It was a very satisfying knit. The finishing was some of the easiest I have ever done considering it is a stuffed animal. The ears practically knat themselves. The duplicate stitch, it would seem, helps to distinguish the head from the torso. The head is still considerable in size but not detracting from the overall cuteness. Fox says it looks like a kindergartener (big melon, teensy body.) I used some nice yarn (surprised?) for the embroidery- some of the leftover Silkroad in Licorice from Jeff’s Jughead Hat. It has some pretty little flecks of blue and purple in it- slightly more interesting than just ‘black’.

As I was not certain of the color scheme of the bedroom, I just used a pretty white ribbon to finish it off. I’m happy.

And, consequently sleepy.

Goodnight.
