The Weather Outside is Frightful...

I love Chistmas time.  I love Christmas music... I love knitting Christmas Presents...I am insane...
I fear the bear...

As cute as this bear is I have locked him in a closet.  Baby Bobbi Bear is patiently waiting to get his arms..and I am dreading it.  I am frozen with  "I hate finishing syndrome"! 
As Patrick Swayze once said "Nobody puts Baby in the corner" - let alone the closet - so I must muster up the strength to soldier on and finish the poor little guy.
Let just say..Baby Bobbi Bear is not that little. 
There is a Bobbi Bear which looks adorable on the instruction flyer cover. 
But this Bobbi Bear is a monster. The finished bear is about 20" tall!  It's such an illusion!

So I decided to do Baby Bobbi Bear thinking - Oh, this will be a better size. 
But is it no mini bear - it's 15" tall!
Here is the poor little guy waiting to be finished.  He's screaming - "Hey Nicole there are not that many days left for Christmas and you can't give me to your Niece Davis without arms, eyes or ears - you'll freak the little girl out!"

He looks like an alien!  I used the Blue Sky Organic Cotton in color #82 nut, 100% cotton, weight: worsted/aran, 100 g / 150 yds, gauge: 4-5 sts = 1", needles: US 7-9. He's very soft - not a harsh cotton at all.  I think Davis will love hugging him.
Let's get crackalakin'!!!

P.S - I found this fabulous blog today!! The Midnight Knitter .  She has done some great things and I really like the layout of her blog. And Bonus! as it turns out she is the owner of a new on-line store I have been perusing kpixie.  Be sure to check her out!
