Teddies for Tragedy and social network of KNITTERS

As my profile says, I'm interested in a lot of 'stuff' but something that has really taken a hold of me this year is creating a network of KNITTERS to produce teddies.

There are two strands to this post:

1. Producing teddies for The Mercy Ships and
2. A practical example of how social networking really works

The teddies provide comfort to the young children who undergo treatment on The Mercy Ships, which I found out about when my sister, Veronica Weatherhead, returned from a 7-week stint in Togo, Africa earlier this year

Now, I don't KNOW many knitters, but through various means of social networking (some more traditional than Twitter or blogging) I now have over 100 knitters and that number increases every day as the message spreads.

Email me on beccibond@hotmail.com to receive a teddy knitting pattern.
