SEVERAL years ago, someone gave us some hand-knitted "hands-in-pockets" dolls for us to sell to raise funds for Non-Animal Medical Research.

They were approximately six inches long and their legs were stitched together. Their arms were stitched to their sides, making it look as if their hands were inside their pockets.

Some people have volunteered to knit these dolls for us. Thus, we would be most grateful if any of your readers could help us please by donating a copy of this knitting pattern.

We would also be grateful to receive all types of foreign stamps.
