Bears and so on and ripping

First I would like to share this adorable teddy bear with you. He was waiting for me outside of my bedroom door this afternoon beside a card and a little tub of sour gummies. She had found out from my blog (as all I could squeak out without crying as I headed into my room for a nap was "Read my blog") about Tasha. Isn't she sweet? The teddy bear is probably about twice the size of Penelope (my 15 lb. panther-like house cat), yet Penelope seems to think it's still a toy meant for her. She drags it around, albeit awkwardly, by the back leg. Anyway, thank you, Ashley. It means a lot to me.

Moving on...

Working my way around the cuff for Jake's hat. The sloppy looking part there is the fold point, not just a series of awkwardly-worked stitches.

Notes on the socks:
I've cast on and worked a few rounds with that Plymouth "Happy Feet" (colorway 12). I'll get a picture up once it looks like something.

Also, in regard to those socks I posted earlier, I realized several rounds in that I had screwed up the 2x2 ribbing. I ended with k2 on one dpn and then went on and k2 on the next dpn when I should have p2 (and I did this on two of the three dpn "intersections"), so I ended up with two stupid 4-stitch ribs amongst the 2x2. Grr. Rip!
