Knitting for Those in Need

Here's an idea for the holidays: The folks at Central Library and the branches of Sacramento Public Library are participating in a project to create and distribute knitted and crocheted blankets and afghans to families in need this winter. This is perfect! The pieces are small, great for bus or train busywork, and work up quickly so you can't get bored or stuck, like you can when you begin a bigger project. Here's Central's blog post, which contains a link to the Warm Up America Foundation and instructions for the piecework. I'm starting mine tomorrow!
