Meet the newest member of The Lamb's Loom Family!!! 💖

What a fun story of friends this little one has to share...SO, let's get started...







Over the last year we have collected bags of premie hats, many more than we could distribute. This happens because, as we teach our "learn to" classes, many people opt for the smallest hat for the class. Which is great! It helps them learn the techniques needed in a timely way. What does happen tho', is a disproportionate number of premie/doll hats coming in during some years.

WELL, this year Ann came up with a fantastic idea!!! The Lamb's Loom Swaddle Baby Doll pattern. (Crochet pattern currently available...knit & loom knit on the way!)  We are putting together kits for these adorable dolls to be created by you! 

Here's how it goes:

🧶Call and purchase a kit for $20. (each kit makes 2 dolls)

🧶You can specify girl or boy colors and we will select hats and yarns to match! 

🧶We will send it out to you.
🧶You're welcome to keep the dolls for the children in your life...
🧶OR send it back to The Lamb's Loom to be added to the Donation Chest, and they will be sent to one of the several orphanages we serve.

THAT'S IT!

We are currently accepting orders over the phone, Tuesday thru Thursday noon to 3 p.m. and mailing out on Fridays. AND now, in addition to CC over the phone, we accept CashApp and PayPal.

We are forever grateful to everyone who is contributing in so many ways to keep this ministry going strong!!!! You all bring new meaning to #stitchitforward 💖

Baby Box!

What a FUN summer we're having around here!
 
More new people continue to "find" us everyday and we get to share with them some of the fun things going on around here like.....

Thanks to all of you, the donation chest is overflowing again! We sent 4 big space bags FULL of hats and scarves, home with Jacque for storage till Christmas. There are sooo many pretty things for show-n-tell, too! Blankets for friends, bridal shrugs for weddings, shawls and on it goes.
One of our friends, Sandy has what she calls a Baby Box. It is where she puts all the baby items she makes and then when there's a need, like a new grandbaby, Poof, she's ready! Well, we just love that idea! So, here are a few things that have made their way to a few baby boxes...

Ann's baby rattles! 
They are almost as adorable as these "satisfied customers".

 

 We've had soooo much fun in the sit-n-knit room! Angela brought her grandmother by the shop for a visit and we taught her to loom knit. She said she could already knit and crochet, so at 90+ it would be good to learn something new! What a precious, sweet time we had with her. Looking forward to her next visit to town.

 Our friend Judith came by to share what she had made from a couple of Cascade yarns, too. Just gorgeous!

Mark you calendar, too! The shop's first birthday is this August. Hard to believe, but it is true!!! There are all kinds of things planned to celebrate and to thank all of you for joining us in this journey. We are soooo very thankful to you all who join in this ministry in so many ways!

Is it really October, already?

We all know that here in South Texas it is difficult to tell the seasons....October 1st and the high projected is 90! So even tho' the leaves aren't changing, at the shop we have lots of fall colors for you with yarn and gifts!
