Notes

Purchased from an unethical Etsy shop to be avoided:
Julia / Silver Iris Co:
https://www.etsy.com/shop/SilverIrisCo?ref=yr_purchases
She claims to be the designer but she isn’t.
She was selling a scanned document from a commercial leaflet. This practice is a copyright violation and theft of intellectual property of designers and yarn companies. The post has since been taken down. This shop is still selling other designs illegally.

I’ve made Toy Polar Bear and Patch the Puppy (1244) (from reputable sources) by Ms. Birkin.
Her designs are delightful and she has a signature style.
I’m glad they are worked flat because I don’t do dpns or small projects in the round.

I accidentally made the body 1” too long and the head turned out a little small in proportion to the body, but with the arms and legs on, was better.
In addition, it was looking like a mouse, but with the nose, it looked more like a bear.

Used 12.0 or 15.0 commercial brown animal eyes. Can’t remember which ones.
