Knit-A-Thon Thank You

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who came out for the knit-a-thon!  It was a great success, and I think a good time was had by all!  I was so shocked and impressed by the items that were donated, such beautiful scarves, mittens, hats and even a blanket!

I took the food, knitted garments and money to the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre last week, and the response was great!   There was over 4 boxes of food, and a large box of knitted wear!

A big thank you to Sarah and Judy who brought home-baked cookies and cake, and to Kirsten from Cafe Etico for donating the coffee and hot chocolate.

I have donated the leftover yarn to Strathcona Elementary School, where they have an after school knitting club. Thanks again to everyone!
