              Anawim  (Magic Ball = left over yarn remnants)
The word Anawim (pronounced 'on-a-whim' or An-a wheem ) is Hebrew
which has been translated as meaning poor, afflicted, humble or meek.
They are the “faithful remnants” who, even in the worst of times find their
security in the Creator. Indeed, the Anawim are all of us!

 Choose the pattern of your choice {Knit & Crochet patterns below},
and use up all the left over yarn you have as you create a unique colored
Hand-Warmer's filled with the rainbow of colors as in Joseph's coat, &
filled with your beloved prayers

I use mostly WW yarn, but if you are adding sport weight yarn, or baby
weight yarn,  you might want to use 2 strands held together.

Magic Ball -
What is a magic ball, well when I finish knitting or crocheting a project
and have just a little yarn left over, I wind it in a ball, then when the next
project is finsihed and there is just a little yarn left over, I tie it together
with the 1st ball I've started and wind it up, when it get's big enough to
use in a wonderful project such as this, I just grab a magic ball  and start
knitting or crocheting, Great way to use up all your left over yarn while
Blessing another with your gift of love..

NOTE: When using a magic ball of yarn, don't worry about the tails
(knitted pattern)  from joining together, just make sure the tales are on
the purl side, and "NO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TUCK IN YOUR
TALES". You will only have 2 tails to tuck in, 1 the beginning tail
from your cast on, and 1 from sewing up the seams.

Tid Bits:
Buttons, Bows, Beads, Pockets, Lace, Zippers, Ect. just make sure they
are attached securely to purl side of hand-warmer BEFORE sewing
together

~Knitted Pattern~

 

10 Needles
Magic Ball of yarn
Tid Bit's (for seniors in nursing homes)

CO 40 sts
Row 1: k across
Row 2: p across

Repeat row's 1 & 2 until piece measures between 20"-22" bind off
with a LONG tail. (between 90 - 100 rows)   depending upon thickness
of yarn)

If piece measures a little smaller or larger it's ok, just make sure
you have a long enough tail for sewing along seam length wise
and the top seams together.LONG TAIL wind around your finger
and tie a bow to hold in place and just move it out of your way
until later when sewing up hand-warmer

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now decision time; lay your piece out flat, (knit side up) now
it's time to decide which end you want to show off and which
end you want to fold in. fold in 1/2 length wise, then again
width wise, now is the perfect time to decorate so go ahead
and add tid bits (optional) to the side you want to show off.

OK, now thats your done decorating your hand-warmer, it's time
to sew it together.

1.) Fold in 1/2 length wise, (Right sides together) sew down along
LONG seam

2.) now reach your hand into one end of hand-warmer and go to
opposite end and pull inside to opposite opening (your actually
turning this inside out)

3.) flatten with right side up facing you, now reach "inside to
opposit end" and pull end of hand-warmer inside to opposite
end, meeting both ends together. match the seams together and
sew along top edge going through both pieces.
Tuck in tails.

NOTE:
This is a wonderful project for using up all your left over yarns, OR
you can make it in 1 color if desired. I like to add tid bits to it and give
them to seniors to just keep their little hands warm, it also gives them
something to busy themselves with

Tid Bits:
Buttons, Bows, Beads, Pockets, Lace, Zippers, Ect. just make sure
they are attached securely to purl side of hand-warmer BEFORE
sewing together
