Progress on my first time double needle knitted project, a teddy bear! At first I had no idea what I was going to end up doing with this guy, but then I remembered my friends Matt and Heather are having a baby! So I'm going to send it their way when he's done for little baby Liam. Shhhh! Don't tell them!

Progress on the bear front! Look at his cute little body! I'm not sure if I admitted this earlier, but I did, in fact, start knitting the body inside out at first. Not that you could tell! Because I started over from the legs.

DPN Knitting Inside Out. OOPS.

I knew I'd have some difficulty with a new type of knit, but this just sucks. I finished two perfectly cute bear legs, and started knitting his body inside out. Unfortunately, all the pieces are connected, so basically, I have to start over from the legs, which COULD'VE been worse. So, I'm going to restart the body. Wish me luck.

My first attempt at knitting on DPN (double pointed needles) is going surprisingly well! Only had to start over three times, within the first row! I'm knitting a bear. I'm thinking I will knit a sweater for this bear after he's complete. I have plans for him, but most of it will be a surprise until the sweater is complete. Wish me luck!
