The Polar Bear Grows

Wendy Eider Chunky makes a very nice fur for a stuffed animal.   The yarn is not bad to knit with and has only one flaw......when one knits with it, one cannot see the stitches.

The Body of the Polar Bear

I did find not being able to see the stitches a bit of a problem, but the furry result is oh so worth it.

When I bought this yarn, I picked it up in several colors.   Toys from the Toybox patterns referred to this particular yarn and I wanted to see how it would work out.   Knitting up the rest of what is living in the stash will be a pleasure.

I do question the wisdom of giving a small boy and off-white toy.   A Polar Bear the toy must be though....so the joy Henry will likely get from this is worth the knitting getting grubby.
