good thing i took pictures earlier this month, because this little polar bear has had a fever and didn't want to go trick or treating this year. :(
the hat is somewhat improvised out of a bulky trendsetter yarn that i found at stitches. it's loosely based on this bear hat pattern i found on ravelry, which was made from a much bulkier yarn. i had to knit several more rows in places and i totally improvised the ears with a crochet hook. the outfit is made from white fleece - very simple, which was good considering my skill level at sewing. first time i've ever done sleeves! the trick or treat bag and the paw pads were made out of felt.
here are some pumpkins we made last weekend when my nephew was here for a sleepover. first carved pumpkins for both of them! the bumpy pumpkin in the back looks super cool but was a royal pain to cut because it was much denser/harder than a normal pumpkin.
knock me over with a feather - boo actually walked in the school "parade" and consented to take a picture with them! (the official school picture day last week was a fiasco - he insisted "NO PICTURES!" and would not even be in the class picture, much less his individual photos.)
