Bereft Bear

Since my current project is a gift, I can't talk about it here, however unlikely it may be that the recipient would ever stumble across my blog. Instead, I give you this poor bear.

According to Ravelry, I finished him last November. And while it's certainly true that I finished the knitting at that point, the poor thing has been hanging out on the shelf beside me for eight(!) months, just waiting for me to finish sewing on his ears and to give him a face. Well.

There you go, little guy. Feel better?

Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver Solids in Aran Fleck
Needles: US 5 (3.75 mm)
Pattern: Free Teddy Bear pattern, apparently not on Ravelry, although this is the third bear I've made from it. I never seem to have any trouble finding homes for them.
