A big THANK-YOU to  tmkr  for her planned generous donation of $1 per bear to the Mother Bear Project for each bear completed for our KAL!   Jan in British Columbia, Canada gifted a Mother Bear pattern to an 83-year-old knitter friend.  This friend has since knitted 55 bears since January!  Wow.   We have received prize donations from  Brenda Castiel (goodstuff on Ravelry) Designs  and  Estella Haines (onemorerowplease on Ravelry) designs  for the KAL.
