Knitted bear trophy - a bit of fun this knit - it evolved out of a trial I did with the help of my friends in my group ‘Talking Knitted Heads’ - http://www.ravelry.com/groups/talking-knitted-heads - my first go at circulars & this I found was a much easier way to knit this - rather than on dpns as I had done with other trophies before.

I knitted it using Cascade 220, it didn’t take long at all, and felted it twice on the machine to get that ‘felty’ look I wanted - the shaping and sculpting after felting, I must say, I love!!

The lovely golden eyes - difficult to see how beautiful they are in the pictures - I bought from http://www.suncatchereyes.net - a plastic nose could have also been used I guess!
