Charities for crafters

Busy hands are happy hands, so I have been looking for charity projects that would allow me to use my crafting skills for a worthy cause. Here are three that were recently highlighted in my Yarnmarket Knitting News e-newsletter:

Project Linus--make blankets of all kinds for babies and children that are hospitalized

The Snuggles Project--snuggly blankets for animal shelters

Socks for Soldiers--hand knitted socks for soldiers

These came from the Lion Brand web site:

Knots of Love: knitted and crocheted caps for cancer patients going through chemotherapy

Any many, many more in the Lion Brand newsletter
