Embroidery is not my friend.

At long last, the Baby Bobbi Bears are done. It may have taken double-digit numbers of tries (and ripping out and cursing) to get them both done.

Reece's Bear:


Julie's bear:


Pattern: Baby Bobbi Bear by Bobbi Intveld (for Blue Sky Alpacas)
Yarn: Blue Sky Alpacas Organic Cotton (except the purple detail which is Peaches & Creme)
Needles: Size 9 Clover DPNs
Started: Sometime in November (don't remember, and they were both different start dates)
Finished: December 16, 2007 (both)

To anyone considering using this yarn, be forewarned: it BREAKS with a vengeance. Worse than Noro Kureyon.

Embroidery onto knitting is definitely a whole different thing than onto fabric. I think it's going to take me quite awhile to get it down. The bears are really adorable!

Baby Bobbi Bears by you are soo cute! They turned out very nice. I like to knit toys, too. In the season I knitted Santa's Little Helpers (the pattern is by Alan Dart).
Happy New Year 2008!
