I love her idea but didn't know how to act on it until today. While browsing the bookstore shelves I found some inspiration.
A whole book full of ideas, Knitting for Peace names specific charities that welcome donations and offers easy patterns to complete the mission. From helping people to shelter animals, close to home and abroad, this book gives specific information on a variety of organizations and their needs.
Also listed in the book are several online resources.

Last updated September 2008, this site has an extensive list of organizations.
www.lionbrand.com/charityconnection.html
Provides a search option to help you select a charity, and a list of most frequently requested item patterns.
www.woolworks.org/charity.html
This site looks like it hasn't been updated in a while, but it does list specific organizations by state.
Now the dilemma. With so many wonderful organizations and super patterns, which one to choose?!
Stumble It!
