Jenny learned to knit in 2005 and now knits to the exclusion of her personal hygiene. Her husband wonders how long this "knit from your stash" charade will continue. Nicole (aka Big Sister) is a librarian who knits. Or maybe a knitter who is a librarian. When she's not knitting on the bus or in front of the TV or at lunch or when chatting with friends, she is, well, that's pretty much it.

Description: Stash and Burn
I made this a while back in November for my nephew's birthday. I used the Blue Sky Alpaca's Bobbi Brown Bear pattern. 1.5 skeins of classic elite lush, plus some leftover brown malabrigo for the face, size 7 needles. He turned out pretty cute! Now the rest of his brothers and sisters want one. Seeded rib pattern with Mountain Colors Bearfoot. I cast on 68 stitches on size 2 needles. They are meant to fit a size 13 foot- I think I could have managed with 64-66 stitches. I LOVE bearfoot.
