Angel bears is a charity which provides knitted bears to children in hospitals, homes and through front line services (police, paramedics, coastguards etc). They have patterns on their website for anyone who wishes to donate.

Until Christmas, magazine Take a Break is offering a freepost address to send bears to.

I mention this just in case anyone is interested.

Oh, and if, like me, you always miss the Innocent Smoothies hat drive, it's time. http://www.innocentdrinks.co.uk/bigknit/

Sadly, Coca Cola have reduced the amount of money per hat that Age Concern get *again*. They cut it from 50p per hat to 30p, and now it's only 25p per hat. I think I still will make a few, but it's very annoying nevertheless.

I've just discovered Baby Pack Project which provides a basic new baby pack to mothers in South Africa. I have rather a lot of old nappies, which are one of the things they sau very rarely gets donated, and was planning on sending some.

Would any of you like to add some knitted stuff to the bundle? They have some suggested patterns, but basically they want jumpers/cardigans, socks/bootees, blankets and toys. I'll probably throw in a pair of booties, but I don't have a lot of knitting time compared to the things I have that need finishing, right now....

The Nasreen Dar are collecting clothes for victims of the Pakistani earthquake. Apparently it's getting pretty nasty due to the cold weather.
