"Looking for a fun way to improve your knitting skills and help charity? Warm Up America! (WUA) is a foundation, supported by the Craft Yarn Council of America, which donates blankets to women&amp;#039;s shelters and other people in need. But how does WUA get their hands on so many blankets? Well, that&amp;#039;s where you come in. All you have to do is knit 7-by-9-inch rectangles, send them to the organization or put them together and create a blanket. You only need 49 squares to create a blanket, but if the goal seems too difficult recruit friends and family to help. You can even host a knitting party! We know it&amp;#039;s starting to warm up outside, but spring and summer are the perfect seasons to start helping this charity. Yarn tends to be cheaper in the warmer months and you have more time off from school to devote to the project. And by the time you&amp;#039;re finished, the cool weather will be back. Don&amp;#039;t know how to knit? Don&amp;#039;t worry, click here for instructions or watch this video to learn the basics. Is there another charity you support? Do you knit or want to learn how?
