Thank you

I wanted to share a little something that we did at the store this past fall. 
It all began with an idea - it always does, doesn't it.  We love to knit and we love beautiful yarn so if we all got together and pitched in what can we create and be able to help our community with our craft.  A decission was made to knit a blanket in all shades of pink.  We used BERROCO VINTAGE (Thank you to Berroco for helping with the donation of yarn)  and we were off to the races.  It took many knitting hands but in the end the final product was beautiful and warm (in my opinion anyway).


We raffled off the blanket over the months of November and December and were able to present a checque to Northern Cancer Research Foundation - Angel In Pink fund in the amount of $600.

I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all that helped achieve this goal.

Thank you
