Lynda - I did a L...Thanks for the props, everyone! <BR/><BR/>Lynda - I did a LOT of research before deciding on this book, checking out reviews and eyeballing the Polley book. There actually isn't a lot out there on teddy bear patterns, but I thought Polley's was the best.<BR/><BR/>Sue - I used worsted weight Patons Classic Merino (don't know color, band is lost now), on size 3 needles. His "skin" has got a nice firm texture with the worsted on US 3's. He's about 6.5" tall seated. If you're on ravelry, gimme a shout - I'm lovechild, and there's more details on him there.<BR/><BR/>Again, thanks for the props! I'll post a new pic when he's got his shorts...Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01225778415333585275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5135178580988509306.post-56461456234505424622007-07-09T12:14:00.000-07:002007-07-09T12:14:00.000-07:00He turned out great.

Your Bertie Bear turned out wonderfully!...Hi Jude! Your Bertie Bear turned out wonderfully! I started a Bertie Bear a little while ago, too, but he’s nowhere near done. Anyway, I was wondering what weight yarn you used and needles? I started mine with DK weight and size 3 needles, but would actually like my Bertie to be a little bigger when he’s done, so may start him again on worsted.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02920556313557443994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5135178580988509306.post-74536593288714099332007-07-09T05:49:00.000-07:002007-07-09T05:49:00.000-07:00Very cute!Very cute!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05483752128029075112noreply@blogger.com
