Willy Bear and Wilhelmina Ballerina

 64 slot cylinder.  Opposite way of working from comfort dolls .  For bears, the head is grafted, the feet gathered.  Ears manipulated.  After face embroidery, eyes pulled down a little to give some shaping.  Wilhelmina's skirt is hand knitted, starting with 128 sts, and a random bit if lace patterning before k2tog all across.  Willy's jumper is tweed.  Face and legs with Yarn2cone from The Yarn Pantry to try it out.

I got a new shorter claspband for the 3D printed cylinder, as it was not picking up loops onto empty needles as it should.  Worked a treat.
