Knitting for a Cause

Week 25 = Knitting for a Cause
Day 1 = June 18, 2014

     We all knit for a reason: friends, passion, help with one's arthritis and so on. But how many of us knit for a Cause? There are so many Causes/Charities that Knitter's give their time and skills to. If you asked a local knitting group how many people have knit something for a cause/charity this year, you would be amazed. The numbers are big and impressive. Sure you can go to your local store and buy a bunch of hats for your local cancer center, but for anyone that have ever received a knitted item, we cherish the love, time and thought that goes into that special knit item. So this week I will be highlighting different causes/charities that are out there in the world and here in my local area.
