Charities That Love Handicrafts

While wandering around some crochet patterns online, I discovered a great website by the Crochet Guild of America with a list of charities that want crocheted items.

There is also The Knitting Guild Association and the Craft Yarn Council (http://www.craftyarncouncil.com/networking.html).

The Craft Yarn Council led me to this website with patterns for charity and places to send your work. http://www.craftyarncouncil.com/warmup.html

Perhaps you would like to warm your heart at the same time as you warm someone else. You can make someone's life a little better.

Happy crafting,
