Summing Up the Rest

I suppose I should sum up the rest of my knitting creations to date so I can get this blog fully caught up. After knitting the alien looking teddy bear I made another bear, but this bear was a Pooh Bear. Elias Andra of Julien-K/Dead By Sunrise has a little baby boy named Jake who adores Winnie the Pooh, so I thought it appropriate to knit Jake a Pooh Bear.

This time I followed the pattern exactly nmaking the bear turn out a bit less alien. Since I had no pattern for the red shirt I had to make my own. Making my own pattern for the shirt was a small, but proud, moment for me. I felt quite victorious in creating the shirt without following a pattern.

The face is the one thing that makes him look funny, but I'm a knitter, not a stitcher...

After that I made a scarf for my mom because I decided I should do something for her. As an only child I mostly "get" rather than "give" lol. I used my own pattern when making this ribbed scarf:
