It's A Bear!

Winnie now has a face and is complete.

Last time I made a bear it was a panda. The limbs and other parts were made separately from the body and were sewn to the stuffed body. This was not easy and involved one person (me) pinning the parts to the body and another person (spousal unit) standing at a distance giving directions. That bear I gave away to a charity auction.

With Winnie, the arms, legs, ears and nose were made separately and then crocheted to the body at the appropriate place. As I completed more of him it felt like he was hugging me as I was working. Combine this with no intended recipient and Winnie is here to stay.
