Bears - SOLD!



When I first set eyes on these bears I could feel the itch in my fingers to pick up my hook and start.


Body parts!

look at that face

arms and ears

whoops, no reason to stare at the sky ..... or ceiling all the time

much better

voila!
When I finish my christmassy things, I'll start on clothes for them.

Hats of sorts

Hats, hats, shawls, mittens. 
Some of the family had to pose in some of the many hats I've knitted or crocheted, 
those that still exist and the new ones too.


Like this one E is wearing, brand new,she got what she asked

Hats that are still going around every winter, like I can wear one hat at a time, or two!

nice and warm, but not for in the midst of winter


actually this is mine, my daughter and granddaughter are showing it


beautiful hat, but it needs a frogging and knit again
