Meet our new friends

This week's menagerie brightened our day! 

 There was standing room only this afternoon as everyone worked feverishly on their critters.

 Their small size make them easy to knit in a group setting and quick to finish.

 Jan's Teddy Bear is going to be fuzzy and cuddly.

 Barbara B. started another Owl Puff with a pretty turquoise yarn (my favorite color).

 Janna's two bears have the sweetest smiles. We think the one on the left should be named Jerry Garcia. LOL!

 I'm curious to see Elaine's Teddy Bear completed. It looks like he's wearing black trousers and a red sweater.

 Barbara B.'s hedgehog was completed quickly after all the confusion last week trying to interpret the instructions. And Debbie's kitty down front has a chubby body and long whiskers.

Barbara B. started a bumblebee this week. I think he will be adorable. 

 Debbie put the finishing touches on her skiing Teddy Bear. We all thought she gave him ski poles but they were her wooden needles.

 Officer Robbie was fun to make but those star badges were awfully hard to cut out of felt. If you have a better idea about making them, I'm open to ideas.

 I designed this furry friend using a tubular cast on for the top of his head which gave him folded ears like a Scottish Fold kitten.

 I'm not sure who made these slippers but they'll go into the inventory for a future donation.

 Carole and Dorah were my only Chicks tonight. Carole brought us two finished hedgehogs. They both have sleepy eyes.

 Here she is putting the legs on Henry the Bunny.

 Now he can stand and not fall over. He just needs his facial features.

 And Dorah started the stripes on her Helix hat which will be navy, white, and gray stripes.

We're having way too much fun with these animals. But isn't that what knitting is all about?!
