Engaging children in needlework is a great way to keep them from being bored and occupy them for hours! It’s very cheap too, especially when comparing it to other activities which they may enjoy. Young children or teens won’t be able to work as fast and therefore one project will keep them busy for a while, thus saving you money.
Next it will keep them from watching so much television or playing video games. It could also save you money on snacks, as that usually goes hand in hand with television. This will result in more active and healthier children, as junk food causes obesity, and other health problems, and deprives the youngsters of energy. Plus too much television is bad for the eyes and mind! Needlework on the other hand is good for the mind as it keeps the mind busy.
The charities involved usually have free knitting patterns and advice on their websites so do not be worried by all the details as you really will be able to find a garment to suit both your knitting skills and the babies needs
Other smaller accessories that can be particularly useful when working on a knitting project are stitch markers, which can be used to mark particular points in a pattern that you are working on. These often come in the form of small rings which can simply be slipped onto your knitting needles as you knit.
