I received the following announcement from Bernat today and wanted to pass it along. It is a great idea!

Introducing BernatCares.com

We're very excited to introduce the newest amazing resource from Bernat - BernatCares is a brand new website that unites knitters and crocheters who have a desire to contribute with local and national charities.

If you are a crafter who has never knit or crocheted for charity before, now is a great time to start. With BernatCares, it is so easy to find an organization with needs you can help meet.

If you are a crafter who already knits or crochets for charity, you will find some great new resources, free patterns and ideas on the site.

If you are a charity looking for donations of handmade items made with love, sign up and add your charity to the charity search.

No matter who you are, visit BernatCares and make a difference today.
