Notes

Used a slightly smaller needle on this one because of limited yarn quantities in stash.

15.0 mm commercial brown animal eyes.

I made one other bear with this design and have notes on it there:
Aqua Teal Bear

I’ve been doing a really good job working up my stash the last 3 - 4 years. Very happy about that. I only buy yarn if my kids want something specific for their friends’ baby gifts and using only recycled fibers or natural fibers.

I’m determined to live down the acronym:
SABLE = Stash Acquired Beyond Life Expectancy.
Or:
STABLE: STash Acquired Beyond Life Expectancy
