Free Knitting Classes and Knit Patterns from Charity

If you enjoy the relaxation of knitting and the feeling of contributing to a good cause, a non-profit organization called Warm Woolies is just the place for you. Knitting enthusiasts create warm clothing, which is collected by Warm Woolies and donated to orphanages around the world.

“In 2005, we’re knitting for children living in orphanages in Russia, Kazakhstan, and China, and on tribal reservations in South Dakota,” says a spokesperson for the organization. Their goal for this year is to knit 1,500 pieces of warm wool clothing for these children.

On the www.warmwoolies.org website you can gain access to free knitting patterns / instructions and links to free knitting classes on the web.

If you live in the Denver metro area, Warm Woolies will even supply the yarn, patterns and needles for you to get started. All you have to do is knit away!
