There
are two more bears who were actually finished, just needed a few
stitches here and there. They have not been sent out yet. I knitted Bear
254 in honor of all the ladies who knitted and crocheted pink bears
when I was sick with breast cancer. I counted more than 50 pink bears on
Ravelry during that awful time when I felt sick from chemo and
radiation. Thanks again to all of you who stepped in and supported me
with knitting, emailing, posting, calling.
I'll
just call her Pinky. She was created during tiny spurts of energy and
yesterday I sewed the pinned-on flower securely to her ear.
And
there is Bear 255, the Red Christmas Bear, almost finished (I sewed the
headband on today) around Christmas 2012. I named her after my first
Great-Grandchild - Talia.
And with this I should be up to date with my bears.
I
have a picture, taken two days ago, of bears in progress. And I will
post this progress regularly, I hope, since I committed myself to
knitting 67 minutes a day for 67 days as part of the Mandela Day
Project.
Four
bears spent a lot of time in a big bag with the yarn that is supposed
to make them into "Heaven Above Arles" a van Gogh tribute. The two
dangling from the top of the photo have no theme (my imagination took a
leave of absence after I recuperated) but I am working on a title right
now.
