Hi Everyone,
Due to popular demand we have put all of the varios Angelbear patterns BACK ON the patterns page.
The reason we replaced the patterns with a new version was simply to make the bears we send more 'uniform' and the new bear is faster to knit and smaller so we can send
more bears for less postage!
I have taken on board my knitter's preference for the original Angelbear and re-instated all previous designs. Now you have three options to choose from so enjoy and please
keep up your hard work as it is making such a huge difference to hundreds of children around the world!!
We have added some amazing pictures to the gallery from Kenya that will move you all. I am sure many of you will be able to spot some of your beautiful knitting too!
We have a few exciting additions coming to Angelbear very soon so please visit us frequently!
AFRICAN ORPHANS RECEIVE THEIR GIFTS
We received pictures today from the wonderful organisation Orphanages for Africa showing a handful of the sixty children who received angelbears.
I am so happy to be able to share them with you. They have requested a further 150 bears/monkies so please get knitting!!
Visit our gallery to see more photos!
INTRODUCING ANGELMONKIE!
I designed angelmonkie so those of you who prefer to crochet can also get involved in the angelbear project. Angelmonkie will be sent alongside our bears and will be ideal for the under 3's in particular (no loops!)
I have posted a picture of angemonkie on angelbears facebook page and so far we have received an overwhelming positive response.
I really hope you will have a go at making some, the pattern can be found on the pattern page and is free to download.
GREAT ORMOND STREET APPEAL!
We received a nomination for bears for Great Ormond Street Hospital from Aimee B. in Milton Keynes, aged 13.
We want to send a regular supply of our angelbears to the Safari Daycare Ward. These children are affected by various conditions, including cancer and we would like every child they treat to be offered a bear.
I am posting the first 125 this week which leaves us running low on stock and so I ask if you could please double your already amazing efforts so we can supply this ward with angelbears on a regular basis.
WE NEED YOUR USED PRINTER CARTRIDGES, TONER BOTTLES & STAMPS!
Angelbear needs your used printer cartridges, toner bottles and stamps to help us raise funds.
All you have to do is send them to the address provided at the bottom of the patterns page to start helping us raise money.
Any stamps will do (even franked ones), with foreign and special editions being especially lucrative for us.
So please send me anything you have and help angelbear reach its full potential!
