Book Talk Begins at 30:15 Recorded on August 5, 2016 Our Mother Bear KAL/CAL is ongoing! You have until August 31st to post a picture of any bear you have knit or crocheted in 2016 in our FO thread. Lots of prizes, but your best reward is knowing you have given a child comfort. Thank you to new prize donors: DCAlaneKnits, redsknits, BostonJen, tmkr, and dptemple.
