The answer in the crochet

So Ben is the genius who figured out the answer to the crochet IQ. Actually, he admitted to cheating, but almost as remarkable is the fact that he saw a woman doing craft, then remembered, a few days later, what it was she was making. That is a gift!

Here is the answer in pictures. I think it's rather sweet, even if I do say so myself. That's navy by the way, not black as it appears in the photo. I would have liked a lighter navy, but since I was looking for 5 ply wool, I bought what I could find, so it's a tad dark. (It's for a baby, if you hadn't guessed and thought I just wanted to make myself a ball.)

Here is the ball modelled by Abraham the bear. Once upon a time my sister went through a phase of making bears. She didn't like Abraham (though he was nameless then) because his head was too small and his ears were in the wrong place. But I took pity on him and saved him from whatever was to be the fate of a bear with a head too small and ears in the wrong place, and gave him a name and a home. I'm very fond of him now.
