You wish you could knit. But that would require knowing something about skeins and stockinette, purling and patience – and the latter already hangs by a thread.

Why not save yourself a guilt trip and order one of the handmade children's sweaters from Toto Knits? You'll not only get an adorable little garment (some with hoods, ears and tails so they resemble monkeys, lions and elephants) but you'll be supporting a phenomenally good cause. All of the sweaters are created by a small group of Kenyan women, many of them single parents, who would otherwise have no means of supporting their families.

So you get a beautiful, handcrafted look without doing the crafting. Translation: Mom stays Mom and doesn't turn into a... let's just say it rhymes with stitch.
