Teddy Bear

LinkThis was taken with Photobooth, my hubby hasn't shown me how to connect the camera to the computer yet.

I am knitting a teddy bear for my friend's toddler. The pattern is from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. I had trouble with the ears. I put markers where the pattern told me to place markers, but it just didn't look right, when it came time to sew up. So I moved the markers lower, it still doesn't look right. Has anyone made this pattern before? Also, I have trouble finding the right stuffing for these stuffed animals. That's why his arms aren't sewn on yet, I ran out of stuffing. Some cottonballs I purchase feel lumpy when I put it in. I like the cotton coil, but they're hard to find in the local CVS and Duane Reades.

Everyone I know seems to be having children. Does anyone know any great hat and booty patterns to knit?
