Bears and More Bears

So I've been making a few more bears and timing how long it takes me to get each piece done. I am really loving these little bears. I can get two or three of these done a day from start to finish if I really work at it. It takes me three to four days to make one Little Cotton Rabbit knitted bear and clothes depending on how detailed I make the clothing.

I have a couple of Mandala sparkle cake yarns that are a 3 weight and these are perfect for using that yarn on the clothes. It makes up really soft and loose and snuggly wuggly. I'm loving the way the sweaters look.

 

I use some techniques to get the bears shaped the way I want them that are not normally knitting techniques. I haven't seen anything like my bears made the way I make them on any site. I think they are unique. I haven't decided what to do with them yet. 

For right now I'm enjoying making them and the whole design process - different sizes, colors, etc. I haven't written the instructions out yet because I'm still working on tweaking the rows, stitches and looks of everything until I'm happy with all of it. I don't have a timeline for getting them done.
