Bears!

[mollydot]

Did I mention I was knitting bears for orphans in Vietnam? They've arrived! My two are the ones on the left of the first photo - pink jumper and orange dress.

I love the photo of all of them.

Here's more Irish bear photos, including in progress shots of teddy 3, which I'm still knitting. With fair isle!

wow bears! I love how they all look like they're going YAY! \b/

There's one in particular in the big group photo, with white fur and a purple jumper, that looks like it's going "pick me up and give me a cuddle".

What a great project. They are all so cute.

Do you knit or crochet? Want to take part in the next bear drive?

Yes, thanks. That would be great. I knit but have never mastered the knack of crochet. As an advance planning tool would you please let me know when it is likely to be. Also, do you supply a pattern?
Cheers

Oops, I meant to link in the last post, but forgot. The pattern is here: http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/na_knitting/article/0,2025,DIY_14141_4826306,00.html

It's very simple - here's what it looks like before seaming, adding arms and stuffing: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mollydot/2355772848/

I'm not sure when she wants the next lot for. Perhaps January? I know she wanted these lot a long time ago, but was waiting to receive more so that it would be a decent sized gift. I don't know when "Tet" is, that she mentions in this post: http://zoje-george.livejournal.com/247227.html
