So, taking all three of these interesting tit bits into account, I have the perfect project to help you relieve stress, help others and be seriously trendy. That’s just crazy talk you say. Well believe it cause it’s true!

Hey pesto! You've just knitted a little boy or girl a beautiful jersey! It shouldn’t take long to complete a jersey or 2. Once you’re done, drop off your jersey at a local children’s ward.
