Charity Knitting Guidelines
Today is Make a Difference Monday...
Do you ever knit for a knitting charity and wonder if it's doing any good? Is what you're knitting the right item? Does it meet their needs and specifications? At one time or another, all these thoughts probably run through your mind.
You want to knit for charity and have fun knitting things you like at the same time, but not at the risk that the charity doesn't really need your donations.
If you've worried about these things, check out today's articles and get tips and ideas for knitting for charity. Then, check the Featured Product section for a truly beautiful book about charitable giving.
My favorite quote from this book is:
Charity sees the need not the cause ~ German Proverb
I think that about says it all. When you choose to knit for charity, you have to look past why some of the people need help. You also have to get past judging. To truly give to those in need, you must look at the need not the cause. If you would like some fresh inspiration for your charitable knitting, check out this book - it's beautiful and sums up what charity is all about.
You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it's a little thing, do something for others, something, for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.
~ Albert Schweitzer
