Knitting for Charity: Easy, Fun and Gratifying

Today is Make a Difference Monday...

As knitters, we usually think about making a difference in terms of knitting for charity and helping those in need. But what if we decide to make a difference in a different way? How about making a difference for the environment?

Today, I'm going to introduce you to a cool environmentally friendly challenge. You'll learn how to cut down on using so many plastic bags and get a free knitting pattern. After that, you'll also learn how to stop the 'pollution' in your home by getting rid of another common object we simply have way to much of.

Today is Frugal Friday....

There are lots of ways to save money with knitting. One of those ways is to be prepared. You may have heard of people who have 're-gift' closets. These are closets where they put gifts they've received but don't like or won't use. These unwanted gifts stay hidden in the 're-gift' closet until they need a gift... then they re-gift it to someone else.

What if we take that concept and apply it to knitting? What if you're absolutely crazy about knitting scarves, but you don't have anyone who needs one at the moment? What if you can't get enough of knitting cutesy little baby things... but there are no babies in your family?

Are you in the mood for some quick and easy knitting instructions to use for a fun project? Great! You'll love this idea. It's actually not a new idea and was popular during the 1970s. But for those of you that were too young to knit at that time or gasp! - weren't even born, this stitch will be a treat for you.
