Adelaide/Monroe's Teddy Bear

Once again this is organic cotton. It's funny that it took me almost as long to sew together as to knit. The pattern didn't really tell how to do shaping but I jumped in and did a long stitch and then gathered where I wanted shape. The nose, ears (inside and out), tummy neck and paws all got shaping and it made a fairly shapeless bear look like a teddy. She has red nail polish on and a lace collar so you know she's a girl. She is about 9 inches tall - about right for a baby.

The pattern is a free one from Berroco - Air Bear.

Organic cotton bib and organic socks

The bib is more Blue Sky organic cotton. The socks are organic cotton mostly but also organic silk and wool.

Finished another Tea Cozy (for my mom)

These Tea Cozies really make your tea better and stays hot a long time. You can also just hang them on the wall. I used Navajo wool again - the pink was nicer than the purple and the wool felted REALLY fast (less than 5 minutes).

This is the Elizabeth Zimmerman Baby Surprise Jacket before I sewed it together:











This is the jacket after sewing it together and then after I added the collar (picked up stitches and then increased 25% about every other row). Notice the little cap that I knitted to go with the EZ BSJ!
