FO: Critters
Here are some stuffed animals I've made recently. Good use of leftover yarn, plus NO guage swatch to worry about!!

The bear with the pants is *ahem* anatomically correct! I figured he should have a reason to be wearing pants. Propriety prevents me from showing a photo of his privates, but picture garter stitch and I-cord!

Those are great! I love the monkey and bear with pants! Where did you get the patterns?

The bears are from "The Knitted Teddy Bear" by Sandra Polley, though the anatomy under the pants was not part of the pattern. :D My signature line below has a link to this book on Amazon. The bear on the cover is also really cute - I made that one a while back and posted it here.

The monkey is from "Knitted Toys" by Fiona McTague.

I love them!! I love the way that a stuffed animal seems to get its own personality when you give them a face. My boys would love to get their hands on some bears like those!
