Create your own knitting design/pattern

Prove that you have created a pattern for a knitted item. Bonus points to those who use multiple colors or lace within the pattern, as well as originality. :)

The Story

I created this bear with the help of my girlfriend at the time, Shaniqua al sadr. Yarn: Bernat Berella 4, some shade of brown. Needles: I honestly cannot remember. (It's been a while since the knitting was finished. I was avoiding the finishing.) I think this pattern is adorable, though he's looking a little thin. My fault, not the pattern's. I was worried about overstuffing him so what do I do instead? Make him too skinny. I like him though. The only gripe I really have (after all, there wasn't a lot of sewing so I can't gripe about that) is that the ears and the face tormented me. "Sew on ears?" How? I am a dolt with a needle and thread. "Embroider face." Good lord where the heck do I put the eyes? Does the nose look right? No. It looks too big. I think I'm pretty happy with it though. It's cute and I would make another. Just not now.
