Much of the news about knitting I could dig up this week had to do with people knitting for others. There was a Pennsylvania knitter honored for her work knitting helmet liners for the troops in Afghanistan, and Canadian knitters working on Boomer hats distributed by soldiers to kids in that same country.
There are young knitters helping the needy in their area, a New Zealand supermarket chain's knit drive for hospitals, a group of knitters making prayer shawls and getting as much comfort as they give, and Florida knitters warming the heads of the homeless in Wisconsin.

I love taking part in knitting for some good cause. This fall have knitted many socks that are being taken to poor children in Bulgaria from here, Finland.
Sarah, Check out http://www.theshipsproject.com and you’ll find a group of people dedicated to providing warmth and comfort to our troops. They give so much and this group gives back to them.
