Pay It Forward

I have been working on items for a new charity........Pay It Forward 

Here are some items that I recently sent

Destashing a few Looms

Since I am doing much more knitting than looming I am destashing some of my looms........these are going as a package.


1  Adult DA Loom SG, 1 Youth DA Loom SG, 1 Infant Loom FG and a 10 peg Cindi Loom   All are pictured here


I am selling these 4 looms for a package price of $75 which includes shipping....if interested please email me at al_knittingknut@hotmail.com     Please put looms in the subject line.

The Three Bears

These are my newest bears...The green one is Vera and she is knit in one piece...I found her on Ravelry.  The red bear is Sweetie Bear and she is a favorite pattern of mine..Harry Bear......The multicolored bear is Blue Bear (named by my husband) she is knit with Red Heart Stripes in Breeze...Bubby Bear is the pattern name.   These guys will find their way to our local nursing home.

Buford and Pansy

I absolutely love Pansy.  I don't like working with the yarn though (boucle')  I think Pansy's face is what is so captivating.  Buford's head just doesn't seem to be stuffed enough..I stuffed Buford from the bottom up.  It was actually easier. Pansy was stuffed from the top down and her head is filled more.  I would tell you how many I have made but I lost count.  I am not very good at keeping track of what I make.  I just knit or crochet..

My Latest Love's Cuddles

I really do like this pattern.........Here are Bubba and Betsy bear

Almost forgot Bobbi Bear

I wish I could remember what size needle I used for her........She was knit with Lion Brand Cotton-Ease.

Sassy Bear

Sassy makes 15  bears I have made for our Local Nursing home...


This one was fast....Front and back each knit in one piece then sewed up.......Sassy was made with size 10 1/2 needles and Lion Brand wool-ease thick and quick that was donated for my bear project........I have enough to do another one just like it....It takes almost a full skein.......about 114 grams

Buddy Bear and Lester

Now aren't these guys cute?   Buddy (yellow) gave me a bit of a fit.  Don't really know why other than I am not used to making these bears in the round......Said I wouldn't make another one but I think I will.  These guys will be going to our Local Nursing Home

The Bears Were a Big Hit

Today was my first delivery of many at the Wiregrass Rehabilitation Center and Nursing Home

I was warmly met by their activities director Ms Brenda Whittle....She is a wonderful women with a great big heart.

Here are two recipients of a shawl and a wheelchair tote.....They were thrilled...The lovely lady who got the lapghan fell asleep and we didn't want to wake her for a photo.

And cuddly bears with their new owners.....You can see all the beautiful smiles...I am sure these ladies will enjoy their cuddly bears..

And last but not least is our resident crochet lady Ms Dot,  we will soon be starting a crochet and maybe a knit circle........

Ms Dot is anxious to get her supplies ready and start 'hookin' again....A lot of fun in the future.


If you would like to help with this ministry bears are always welcome plus lap robes mostly for the men.

Brenda Bear and Friend 9 & 10

My two lastest bears...I have been trying to name the big ones as that pattern has become a favorite. Benda Bear and her friend are bears number 9 & 10

Darling Bear and Buddy

Darling Bear and Buddy ( #7 & 8) are my latest bears and Darling Bear may be hard to give up.......She is made with Homespun and her Buddy is made with DK and a cotton ease sweater........I am now working on a really little guy.

Darling Bear has a little tail

Bears 5 & 6

A little bit of tweaking and I think the yellow bear may be one of my choices............These are so much fun and will be going to my local nursing home.............Everyone loves a bear


Pattern Links:  Seamless Angel Bear  One Seam Bear

Bear #4

I have received and some is in the mail donations of homespun and cotton ease yarn for my bears.  I think I will be making mostly little bears for the nursing home here in Geneva Alabama.....The hardest part of this one for me was the muzzle......I think the eyes are perfect.  So far this in the only bear that I have used these eyes with....You can find the pattern here if you would like to help.

Getting Ready for a Delivery

 

The picture doesn't show everything very well, but I have 1 pair of men's slippers. 1 pair of ladies pocketbook slippers, 1 wheel chair tote, 1 shawl, 1 lap robe and 2 little teddy bears.......I am hoping to get a ministry started at the local nursing home sharing the love of God through giving...........This has been on my heart for a long time and now God has been speaking to my heart, telling me that it is now time....This is also done through a group that is close to my heart Loves Many Cloths.I have been a member for many years now...I do hope to get others to join me.

Three Simple Bears

These are 3 little bears that I am adding to my items for our local nursing home.......I sure hope my items are received well...I will try to have everything finished before Thursday of next week.

Sacked Out

Doesn't she look comfy...She is patiently waiting for Mommy to join her.........I sure do love my little girl

Strawberries n Kiwi Finally Finished

Here is the Strawberries n Kiwi Socks finished.  This is one of those pairs that I found hard to stay with and am so glad they are done.

OK   This pair  as it looks right now won't be a favorite pair.....I am not happy with the way this yarn stripes so I found a pattern that will break it up some..........This is my progress so far

Another finished pair

I love the way this pair feels on my feet and they fit perfectly............What more could you ask for

Working on my TinyToes Socks

This is wonderful yarn.....I love the feel of it...................I am using a pattern from Charlene's Schurch's Sensational Knitted Socks.  It is a 4 stitch pattern called mock baby cable...........I love the look and ease of knitting it.

Banana Cowl

Debi from Solomon's Porch shared this pattern and had some questions about the short rows.......I had to give it a try but I too had some issues with the short rows........I managed to figure it out but don't ask me how.  If I would make this again I know I would have to figure it out again.   Being that this was made with acrylic I wasn't able to block it, so the point tends to curl........This cowl went to Solomon's Porch in Washington State.

A Favorite Pair

This has got to be one of my favorite pairs of socks.  Made with Paton's Kroy Mulberry Stripes.  I did them in a simple 2x2 pattern.  I wear them all the time.  These were made from the cuff down.

Crib Blanket

This crib blanket was sent to Solomon's Porch in Washington State........I think it turned out really pretty.
