As you practice, leverage the supplies you already have at home (like knitting needles and that stash of yarn you’ve been saving for a rainy day). If you do need supplies, try out Michaels’ free curbside pickup service: It’s totally free and you never have to leave your car. Some of their yarn is on sale right now, so you can make projects no matter what your budget is. If you’re a beginner knitter or crocheter, Michaels also has knitting needles and crochet hooks (such as Aluminum Hook Set, $5.49) to help you get started. Here are five charities to consider donating your finished projects to. Of course, you can also contact your local hospitals and shelters and ask what their needs are, too. Be sure to check how each charity prefers to collect their supplies, whether that’s through the mail, drop-off, or pick-up.
