Twiddly Fingers

I'm plagued with Twiddly Finger Syndrome. :) My mother had it, my dad had it for a while, most of my cousins have it. Little known outside my family, TFS is a disorder characterized by an incessant need to constantly do something -- ANYTHING -- with your fingers. Sometimes this takes the form of smoking, sometimes eating, in other cases nail-biting. Having learned to channel this compulsion, I now put hooks and needles in my fingers and make things most of my family members don't need or want.

Teddy Bear toy

This little guy was just something I thought I would make to help use up the leftover Crayon yarn from Knitpicks. I made this for my son and presented to him as a gift. He played with it for about 8 seconds and then threw it down. I guess this one is going on the shelf for me, instead.

METHOD:
The pattern is called "Teddy" and I got it from Ravelry. (All these patterns are linked on my Ravelry account, if anyone wants them.)

AND WHAT DID WE LEARN?
1. Trying to wrangle three stitches on three dpns is nuts. Just approach it like you're making i-cord.

2. This knit up pretty quick although it was weird sewing it together, as connecting tubes to a sphere was difficult.

3. This could make a cute penguin doll as well.
