I’m becoming very interested in knitting charities. Mostly, I think my knitting could go to good use instead of sitting in my finished piles. 
I’d like to know what kind of charities I could donate to?
I am definitely interested in knitting for the US Armed Forces (if they need anything…) but that’s not to say I’d turned down anything really. Anyone have any good websites?
How wonderful of you to want to spread the blessings of your knitting.
A good org for our wounded soldiers is: http://www.rectangle6x9.org/
People knit & crochet 6x9 rectangles of acrylic yarn & donate them to [U]The Handmade Afghans to Thank Our Armed Forces Project[/U]. HAP for short. Volunteers crochet them together making afghans & distribute them to our wounded soldiers. Visiting relatives also benefit from them. The 6x9s can be easy take-along projects, but they must be 6x9" in a relaxed state and of acrylic yarn for washability and no alergy problems.
Another knitting charity for our armed forces is helmetliners:

I’ve made 3. I like doing them. They must be 100% wool yarn for warmth and safety. I make mine with the neck part more like 7" long. This covers the neck better when they’re pulled up over the mouth. There have been a couple of threads about them on this site.
The Charity Knitting part of KH has good ways to help others as well.
Have fun.
Check your local yellow pages for hospices. They take lapghans, bed jackets, bed socks, hats and such.
The sticky links at the top of the page have lots of resources. 
If you need more help than that ask away!
