Charity Knitting and Crocheting

Lately I have been cruising around the web just trying to see what kind of great stuff is out there for someone who likes doing all kinds of needlework. There is only so much one can do to keep for oneself, but people like us must continue to create! I've come upon a few sites where people are doing great things for others so I thought I would share those with you in this ongoing list of links. I will update it when I find new sites and there will be a link to it on my sidebar. If you know of any others that would fit into these categories, please leave a comment and let everyone know.
