Knitting has been steadily gaining popularity for several years. It’s a relaxing hobby without many supplies required. Check your local directory for classes at the library, knitting store or adult school. You can probably even find a friend to teach you. Seems just about everyone is doing it!

Let us suggest that you make your first project a worthwhile one. Knit and donate a unisex scarf.

Make your next project a red scarf to donate to the Orphan Foundation of America program. Scarves will be accepted September 1, 2008  through  October 31, 2008 and are distributed in care packages sent off for Valentine’s Day. What a great and simple way to show you care.

The great thing is that even a beginner knitter can knit a decent scarf.
