>Yes, Carol, the Webb of Hope project is definitely something a 
beginner can
>participate in.  They provide items such as scarfs, hats, 
mittins, throws,
>sweaters, shalls etc., to charities here in the United States and 
overseas.
>I have been participating in it for almost 3 years and locally, 
meetings are
>here at my church.  I Usually have a storage box where I put 
completed items
>in and when it is full, then I take it to a meeting, give them my 
items and
>then they fill the box up with skeins and balls of all sorts of 
yarn.  They
>get donated yarns from shops and individuals which they provide 
to
>volunteers to knit or crochet items for them.  I have also 
collected items
>from other people who wanted to participate, but who either don't 
live in my
>area or who can't make it to any of their meetings.  You don't 
have to use
>their yarn, you can collect it yourself from friends, yard sales 
or purchase
>it as well.

>Any of those beginner projects fit right in.  The items can be 
for infants,
>children, young adults and adults.  I mainly stick to 
youth/adults because
>everyone likes to make baby/children items and the others get 
left out.  I
>also find myself being given mainly colors that do well for men, 
because
>they are also left out because everyone likes to use light and 
bright
>colors.  I was given a large quantity of angora/wool mix in a 
medium/dark
>brown color and made nothing but scarfs, hats and ear warmers 
that were sent
>to Afganistan.  I enjoy it and I like to see the items going to 
someone who
>will need them.  Also, there are several more experienced 
knitters than I
>am, meaning they delve into the fancy elaberat knittting patterns 
and if I
>have problems with a stitch pattern, I have gone to them for 
help.  I am
>hoping one of them will help me with trying my needles on some 
simple
>sock/footie patterns.
