Battle of the Bobbi Bear

There was a bit of a difference in dimensions between Robin's bear (pink) and Michelle's bear (blue). Although I felt a little bit like the flying monkey's attacking the scarecrow, we had to lighten the bear's stuff factor.
Robin was a little dismayed even though we reminded her it's not a contest! She's onto the arms of her bear. I'm sure that will make a dramatic improvement.
Elizabeth has been tech. knitting a my most recent sock design. I've had to take another look at the heel numbers. I love how it's turning out though.
You can now see the beginnings of Scarlett, the dragon's, curving tail. Elizabeth has definitely hit her stride with this project. The pattern is Heere Be Dragone Shawl by Sharon Winsauer.
Robin came up with a great idea for her old shoe/hand bag "bags". She's recycled them into project bags.

We had an animated book discussion, and as promised (Elizabeth) here is the list.
