Those interested in knitting/crocheting buddies for us:
To everyone who is knitting or crocheting recovery buddies for us, we really appreciate it. There are a few questions I'd like to address pertaining to donation buddies.
Do they have to be knitted?
No, they do not have to be knitted, however they do need to be made out of yarn. So they can be crocheted or woven.
I have noticed all of
the knitted buddies are in stockinette stitch, do they have to be?
No, they do not! We tend to make them that way because it
seems to be quickest, but if you would like to use another knit or crochet
stitch pattern, that is OK too :). The only thing we ask is they be made with a tight weave so when they are stuffed, the stuffing stays inside.
Do I have to follow the pattern? No, as long the donation buddies are a square with four limbs we can use them. However, please try not to make them much smaller than 8"x8" and no larger than 11"x11"...they need to be big enough to cuddle. :)

Do you have a crochet pattern?
Yes, we do have one available. It can be found on our facebook page, our ravelry group and here on the blog.
Can I add a hair bow, or buttons for
eyes, or that sort of thing?
Can I give the buddie a name and story? Yes! While it not required, we would love for you to name the buddie and give him or her a story.
Can I send along a note for the recipient?
We also love when you send along a note for the recipient, we'll be sure to pass these along! We want to make the recipient feel loved and a special note from you would be a great way to add to that :).
Please use this mailing address as of February 7, 2012 until further notice
