Everyone knows “Guideposts Magazine.”  It is a magazine that can be found in offices, homes, and churches.  It delivers messages of positive thinking and hope to its readers.  “Guideposts” has enjoyed a large readership and unprecedented popularity for over six decades.

Did you know that “Guideposts” has other projects as well?  One that impressed me is called, “Knits for Kids.”  They have been involved in providing sweaters for kids worldwide for over 10 years!  And these sweaters?  They are knit or crocheted by their wonderful readers.

The Web site has several pages devoted to this project.  They explain what and how they do this project.  They have distribution maps and answers to any questions you might have.  But best of all, they have the patterns.

There are four patterns:  The basic T-Design sweater for beginners, the 10th Anniversary edition pattern, the crochet pattern (in 2 styles) and an advanced aran knitting pattern for those knitters who enjoy more challenging knitting.  It is nice to see such a variety of patterns and they are good patterns!  I checked them out myself.

Consider putting your talents to work for “Guideposts,” if you haven’t chosen a charity to knit or crochet for yet.  This is a real world-changing project and they are doing a great job.  I’ve already downloaded my patterns - that aran one I can’t resist and I love the idea of it going to a child who really needs it.
