Knit for Japan and Make a Difference

Yes, it's time: grab your needles and knit for Japan!

Knit for Japan was only a matter of time. After all, knitters are creative people who really understand the difference a hand knit item can make in a person's life, and they're generous people who are always looking to help -- especially those interested in knitting for charity.

1. Thank you for sharing this...
I do knit preemie items for a nearby hospital's NICU, but I'm always on the lookout for other charities to knit/crochet for.
