Charity

There is nothing more fulfilling for a crocheter than to be able to help those in need. There is so much you can do for people in your community just with a hook and a bit of yarn. Start your own crochet group to crochet for a good cause. Look for needs in your community. Do you live in a large city where there are many homeless on the street? Are you close to a pro-life center that could use infant clothing and baby blankets? Try making simple caps for cancer patients at a hospital, or lap afghans for people at a nursing home. There are so many opportunities to help those around with crochet. Let your crochet talent be more than an art or a useful craft. Let it be a blessing!
