Stuffed bear from a kit that someone gave me at the last knitting retreat. Originally kitted and sold by
Monarch Knitting in Pacific Grove. Yarn is some mint green textured acrylic baby yarn and pattern is written by the owner of Monarch Knitting, Joan Williams. I over stuffed it so it looks more bearish, with the full belly and all. There was embroidery thread to stitch on the eyes, mouth and nose, but I'm too lazy for that. Plus Teddy looks like a pretty good match with Ms. Black. Maybe one day I'll find good looking eyes for both of them together.
An angel pillow top, my first major intarsia project. I don't usually do color work, still don't like it. Texture and structure are more of my type.
The pattern is from Nicky Epstein's
Knitting for Your Home . Her angel is a blonde and mine has a full head of gray hair (gray mohair left over from an afghan. I'm dreaming my own will one day grow that long again). The wing is Fun Fur, and skirt is two shades of purple from
Black Water Abbey Yarns.

You've been very productive!
I found some bear eyes if you want 'em. My grandmother gave me a bunch of old sewing/craft supplies...and the toy eyes were in the stash.
