Recently I went through all by knitting needles and crochet hooks. Any duplicates, I gave to the senior resource center. Lots of yarn, I made some afghans, gave those to hospice., left over yarn, again to the senior center. As a quilter, I have lots of fabric. My plan for that is sort, cut and label and sew into scrappy twin size. They will be great for dorm room, camping and in the car. And books and magazines. Ever notice how most drs offices have magazines aimed for men and medical issues. I "accidently" leave my book or magazine there.
