Ok, so back to spreading the good word. It's called the Mother Bear Project. You can order the pattern from them, and then knit or crochet a teddy bear that will be given to a child affected by HIV/AIDS in emerging nations. How sweet and cute is that idea? If you, like me, are knitting inept, you can also donate or sponsor a bear or purchase some of their Mother Bear Project swag. Here is a bit from their website:
The simple gift of a hand-knit bear with a tag signed by the knitter has touched children who have nearly nothing in the world with the message that they are loved by someone halfway around the world.
For those of you who are knitters and not shut-ins like yours truly, there are knitting groups in the Minneapolis area or you could start your own. This might be a fun project for a girls scout troupe. Anyhow, spread the word peeps. Imagine the sweetness of knowing that something you made was going to be loved by a child in need. Cue Sally Struthers tears...
