Knitting in the News: Knit for Others

By , About.com Guide   November 14, 2009

Follow me on:

It must be getting closer to the holidays, because just about every story about knitting I came across this week had to do with knitting for others.

There are Vancouver-area seniors knitting scarves for the needy, Massachusetts financial workers knitting chemo caps for kids, British knitters making teddy bears for poor children throughout the world, New York knitters knitting hats for babies (New Jersey knitters, too) and Omaha knitters making prayer shawls.

There's the story of a man who knits mittens so local kids won't be so cold on the way to school and a craft store chain that's sending more than 4,000 knit scarves to the troops thanks to the generosity of its customers. Keep knitting, everyone!
