I finally finished knitting a teddy bear for my grandson! Hooray! It took two years to complete this project, but I'm quite happy with the result. This was my first time working on a project using a knitting book written in English. I can read books in English, but knitting books are a whole different world. I struggled a lot to understand the instructions. Through this project, I learned a lot and gained confidence in following knitting instructions written in English.

The knitting book I've been using introduces many knited animals, and I'd love to complete all of them. I have no idea how long that will take, but I'd love to give it a try!

When I gave the bear to my grandson, he seemed very happy. He's still too young to understand how hard the teddy bear was made, but I hope he enjoys playing with it.
