The charity year ahead!

My aim is to complete a charity project each month in 2014.  In January I managed to support 3 different charities which was great but maybe one a month is more realistic!  I have mapped out some ideas below but have a couple of months spare so I will keep an eye out for different projects that may crop up during the year.  Getting involved with knitting for various charities is such a great way to give back whilst doing something that I love.  It doesn’t feel like it costs any money (even though I have to pay for supplies) nor does it feel that it takes up much time (although each project can be quite time consuming).
