Mother Bear Knitting in the Round Seamless Pattern
Recently I've been listening to podcasts as I do my back exercises. This makes the time pass much more quickly. Mary recommended I listen to 2 Knit Lit Chicks, a mom and daughter podcast which is about knitting, books they've read and a bit about what's going on in their lives. I've listened to a few podcasts (and enjoyed them a lot!) and joined their Ravelry group, where they are encouraging people to make bears for the Mother Bear Project.
I had seen the Mother Bear Project website before, but for some reason it really grabbed my attention this time. I felt compelled to knit a bear and now that I've made one I can say that it won't be my last. I'm calling this one Daniel in honor of my youngest brother.
I just love this photo! (My brother claims to hate it.) I can't decide which one I like best, so here's the other. Wasn't he a cute kid?!
It's tempting to make a straw hat for Daniel Bear, but I think my time would be better spent making another bear. That bear will be his square dancing partner.
If you have a few hours and some leftover worsted weight yarn, please consider making a Mother Bear. It's a lot of fun and you'll be spreading some love to a child who needs it.
Awww - I love Daniel Bear. Those pictures are adorable. I'm not sure which is cutest.
