Notes

8/30/16: Finally finished! I named her Ibby (short for Elizabeth), in honor and memory of my sweet Aunt Ibby. Aunt Ibby was a wonderful watercolorist, and painted the portrait of me, at ten years old, which I use for my Ravatar.

I photographed Ibby with the house bears. She will be hanging with them until I send her off on her trip to Minnesota later this week.

I found a great YouTube video on how to make bear ears, and these are my best yet. You can find the video here.

7/21/16: Cast on this bear last week for the 2 Knit Lit Chicks Mother Bear knit along.
