A request for hand-knitted bears from Melanie below - 160 bears were posted to hospitals on Monday...but plenty more are needed..!
-------------------
I recently established a not-for-profit organisation called Angelbear which is dedicated to providing sick or disadvantaged children in UK hospitals with a hand-knitted teddy bear.
Would your group consider knitting some bears for us at any time in the
future at all? Although we have only been online for two months, we have
already had a fantastic response and are hoping to be in a position to
send the first batch of bears at the end of February. We also have
knitters in the USA knitting bears currently and are achieving a minimum
of five-thousand hits on the site every month thus far.
I designed the bear myself and have endeavoured to make it simple so
that knitters at all stages are able to follow the pattern easily. The
pattern can be downloaded for free at angelbear.org.uk
or printed directly from your web browser.
I hope you will find the time to consider helping our cause and maybe
sending us a few bears. Please visit the website for full details about
Angelbear and our aims. I will be happy to promote your group on our
site and would love some photos of any knitters who become involved in
the project to add to the page also.
Thank you very much for your time,
Kind regards
Mrs Melanie A Smith
