More colorful than the average bear!

Wow! Brynne has finished her Noro Kureyon bear (almost)! Take a look at the progress shots she took. This is a really cute bear. The colors alone are guaranteed to make someone happy.

Here are all of the pieces, ready for seaming.

Here is the bear, now in only 8 pieces.

And finally, here is the seamed-up bear, lacking only his face!

Great job, Brynne!

In other news, Katie J. has picked her Debbie Bliss Stars and Stripes bear back up and is working on the arms. She has a 9-10 hour road trip planned for later on in the week, so she will have plenty of time to finish her bear if all goes as planned. (BTW, Katie J. has given up on blogging for a while, so if you happen to notice her blog "Knits and Grits" is gone, that's why. Just no time at the moment, and she forsees even less time of her own to do such things in the future. The idea (and quickly-approaching reality) of two babies under the age of 2 is starting to freak her out.)
