Introducing Little Bear (pattern by Melody Hoffman). I’m pretty sure I did one eye higher than the other but whatever - I did intarsia in the round and lived to tell the tale 💪🏼 Yarn from Ferme Fiola Farm in Manitoba 🧶

Well done @sheepyknitting.bsky.social and @professor-purl.bsky.social for guessing my mystery knit - I’m making the Little Bear pattern by Melody Hoffman (photo from the ravelry listing)! It’s almost done, can’t wait to share the FO… 🧶

Back at the tire shop where they have been holding my van hostage all day. But I’m making good progress on my mystery knit (nobody has guessed it yet), and learning intarsia in the round!
