WarmUpWinc

One way that's kept me in the mood for charity knitting is through charity crafting communities. I'm a member of the very active Homespun Helpers (http://community.livejournal.com/3000in2007/ on livejournal is where I post but there's also a blogger community here at http://www.craftingforacause.blogspot.com/) . I also recently joined a great looking community called WarmUpWinc (http://wuwinc.blogspot.com/). The founder of the community, Amy, was inspired to create a charity knitting community after witnesses an alarming amount of poverty in the town she grew up in. She's looking for wool hats, mittens, scarves, and anything else warm. I hope to make a bunch of hats because they're quick and I'm pretty sure if I knit two blankets at once, I will get very confused.

I'm really looking foreword to this. I have some left over Lion Brand Wool-ease to start off with but I've really been itching to buy some new yarn for when I'm done with the first hat.
