Nov 29th I DID IT!! YEAH BABY!! |
Bev's 2004 Baby Bootie Challenge and CHARITY CROCHET-ALONG! All done! Thanks to everyone who helped. CLICK HERE FOR NEW 2005 CHALLENGE! buttons courtesy of LUVS2CRAFT Some of Bev's Booties for the challenge! I had
originally set a
goal this year to complete 100 pairs of newborn booties for LDS
HUMANITARIAN. As of July 16th, 2004, I have achieved that goal so
I set a new goal and I would love to have some of my readers set their
own goal with this. My new goal is to make 500
pairs of booties
this year, mostly for LDS Humanitarian, but a few will go to friends
who do work for hospitals and such! I figured out that I have to
make 3 pairs a day, average, to achieve this!
If you would like to join me
1) Set your own goal. How many pairs do you want to make by the end of the year? 2) Decide to whom you wish to donate the booties. Send them to your fave charity, take them to your local hospital, give them to women's shelters in your area, or Ronald McDonald Houses, send them to LDS humanitarian... wherever you'd like is fine. 3) Get out those crochet hooks or knitting needles and some soft yarn and off you go! Oh yes... Then: please email me (be sure to put your own email address in here so I can answer you!) and let me know what you decide. Together we can do this and think how many people will be helped. Here are some booties patterns I am using: www.bevscountrycottage.com/bevsbooties2.html www.geocities.com/lindaslists/knitbooties.htm www.bevscountrycottage.com/shell-booties.html www.bevscountrycottage.com/bevs-stay-on-booties.html www.geocities.com/basketsforcharity2004/pagetwo.html Now
