Ear, Ear!

Ears!
Crocheted ears, each crocheted in a half-circle shape, are arranged in pairs with their loose ends trailing, on a dark background. They are arranged a bit like a bunch of flowers with the ears along the top and the loose ends coming together at the bottom.
Nine pairs of teddy bear ears.


The Teddy Blanket has ears!

Yarn Chicken

A stack of 7 squares crocheted in rows (not granny squares which are crocheted in rounds). The squares are white with a big tan circle in the middle, using intarsia technique. The stack of squares has been spread out across a blue background. The squares are overlapping. The loose ends can be seen because they have not been woven in yet.
Always trust your instincts. That's what mothers tell us.
