Wrist warmers for Charity

[nascardudette]

Hi .. I am hooked on knitting wrist warmers. I guess that is how some people get about socks .. now I get it. But living in Texas .. I don't really have a personal need for them I was thinking that they might be a good charity knitting item.

Elderly might like them to protect their wrists .. I have often seen them wearing cut of cuffs from socks . And I think kids would like them just for fun.

Has anyone had any experience with knitting wrist warmers / fingerless gloves for charity? If so, what organization accepted them?

Trying to find a good home for them.

Looking forward to your ideas.

Hi, Kanda:
I've never heard of a charity specifically requesting wrist warmers; however, on the Care Wear web site there are a few hospitals listed requesting IV covers. You might want to try there: http://www.carewear.org . Also, have you thought about contacting a local senior (daycare) center or nursing home to see if they might like to accept your gift.
