I started knitting recently. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy it! I decided to use my newly developed skills into good use. Every year, I raise money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I participate in their Light the Night Walk. Last year, my team raised over $2,000. This year I personally want to raise $500.
I started making my daughter headbands to match her dresses. I would take my knitting stuff and knit while she was in dance class. The other mothers were curious as to what I was doing and when I showed them, they literally started throwing money at me so I can make some for their daughters. Before I knew it, I had requests for more headbands. I felt kind of guilty taking people's money but they insisted. So I did the next best thing, I decided to donate it to my favorite charity.
