Crochet For Good!
Can crocheting be a good deed? Maybe!
Crochet for good! Do good in your community! Sell crocheted items like hats and amigurumis! Then, give money to charities, churches, even an animal shelter! A little goes a loonnngg way. 'Specially with money. At Dollar Tree (dollar store) they sell yarn! For ONE DOLLAR! Cool! You can also give cracheted items to hospitals, (blankets, hats, socks, teddies for kids...) They might or might not appreciate it, but you'll feel good, and your brushing up on your skills! I preffer crocheting, but anything's good!-Madi

Knitting For Those in Need
Knitting, for people who need it!
There are many ways to knit for those in need. Think of elderly, adults/kids in the hospital, people who went through tradgedies, and others! You can make blankets, socks, maybe a jacket or two, caps, hats, slippers, and other cozy and heartwarming items! Here are some inspirational sites to help out:Citizensvoice.com
Recently on Citizen's voice, I found a page with knitting ideas. Type in, Knitting for a good cause, (either on this site or google.com and it'll surely pop up.)
I will also post some patterns on here for you, too. So keep on watching out for more on knitting!
