Knitting for Bears

I had the idea that it would be sweet to knit a sweater for one of Miss M.'s many teddy bears. I found a pattern at Wee Wonderfuls, and printed out a picture to show to her. Her response? "They're not chilly because they have coats."

Okay kid, no sweaters for your bears.

    At least she told you before you put the time in knitting. My kids would likely tell me after I spent three years working on the sweater.

    Oh but don't let that stop you! With sweaters in hand she'll dress and undress them...right?

    She's absolutely right -- kids are so practical. It is a cute sweater, though.

    Oh, little sweaters! I think you should still knit away, if anything she can dress and undress them countless times...

    Even if she didn't appreciate the offer, we appreciate the anecdote.

    Ha! hilarious. and totally logical. you'll have to turn this thinking around on her when she is a teenager.

    "you don't need makeup because people don't require camouflage to evade their enemies. just like bears don't need sweaters." or something like that.
