This worthy cause, creating huggable bears for children in Africa and other emerging countries, many of whom are suffering from HIV/AIDS, is one of the charity knitting projects I've been involved in lately. See the link to their website in the "Links" section of the blog. Here is the first bear I created, using Lion Brand Wool-Ease. They suggested a soft-feeling yarn, but next time I think I would use 100% wool, as there are so many soft ones available and I didn't really like the feel of this yarn as I knitted with it. The bear is a quick knit and there is also a crochet pattern available. It's also a great way to use up leftover yarn!
