Teddy girl "Emma"

[wiseheart]

Not identical with Baby Emma, of course. She (and Bruno) were named after a character from one of my favourite childhood book. It took place in a forest, where the owl (the notary of the animals) happened to find a calendar many years before the actual story, but since he didn't know the difference between male and female human names, all animal babies got really bizarre names. One of them was called Polar Teddy Bruno Emma. I don't even remember whether it was a male or a female character. *g*

In any case, here comes Teddy girl Emma, from the front and from the back:



She's got a pretty dress (elwenlj do you recognize the lace?), but I still think Bruno has a cuter face. And I gave the poor thing eyes that aren't in the same line. I didn't want to remove them when I realized my mistake because the fabric they're made off isn't felt: it is something soft and fluffy, and I was afraid that if I cut off the button, it would still leave a mark. So the poor teddy has bad eyes. *sigh*

I was pretty much sewing all day. I've finished Bärli, the 3rd teddy (a brown one of different design) so far that all he needs is the bearly equivalent of the Lederhosen, and then sewing the whole thing together. But I'll leave that for Monday's sewing circle with the colleagues. I did make some more Santa's socks, though. And did some translation, too.

I took up knitting in August, at that time I hadn´t knitted for years. At the moment I am working on a scarf, when it is finished I will sell it so it comes to good use.

I think I've totally forgotten how to knit. I never was very good at it, but what little I knew is gone, too.

I learned to knit in school but it took a while to figure out how I should do it because I am lefthanded and my teacher at the time was righthanded but we found out in the end. At the moment I knit in a basic manner so it will get finished quickly.
