I made these little guys (15 inches tall) over January while we were aaway, I like to knit while we travel, then I am a more relaxed passenger.
I will hand them in tomorrow at our "Care and Share" group, and they will be sent to Missions without Borders, destination Eastern Europe. I make beanies and scarves too. It is nice to have someone to knit for, as I don't need anything myself.
I wouldn't try to knit for my family either.... I remember a lovely school jumper I made my son, and he lost it as quickly as he could, bought ones were more desirable....LOL.

TRhey look really lovely and so good of you to send them to people who are in need. Happy blue Monday
They are so cute Jan. I have yet to make one of these from the pattern you kindly sent me. But I have learned to make simple little knit sweaters for baby, so I think I can now follow the instructions for this bear :-) I'm sure the children who receive your bears will LOVE them :-)
Isn't it odd how ungrateful our own children can be? Another would have loved that jumper. Love your blues!
Happy Blue Monday, Jan.
Delightful, Jan. How neat that you knit for missions. God bless.
thank you for this example of helping others.
wow! those are really cute!
these are lovely, love the colors! it's a beautiful gesture--knitting for those who would be happy to have them.
How darling your bears are and what a nice thing for you to do.
Blessings~
You did a very nice job on the little bears. I bought some of the Beanie Babies when they were popular. Do not need them. Probably give to some children's home.
So pretty!
