Charity and Nursing home patterns?

[melinda9723]

I would like to improve my knitting skills (recently re learned how to knit).
I figure what better way to do it than to knit for charity and the nursing home I work at.
I was thinking I would start off knitting the easy items first and slowly work my way up.
Here is my list:
easy garter scarfs (no pattern yet)

Please feel free to post links and your ideas! Thanks in advance.
