Attention knitters: A Community Project needs you!

Apr 20, 2016

Heather Woodyard, owner of Verona's yarn shop, Ewe can Knit, is enlisting the help of local knitters for a good cause. In an effort to give comfort to youngsters who are undergoing medical procedures at Kingston’s KGH and Hotel Dieu hospitals, Woodyard has launched a community blanket- making project. “The idea is get the community together to give these kids a sense of comfort and something nice to hang on to while they are in the hospital,” Woodyard said. She is inviting knitters to knit or crochet 7x8 inch squares, which she will then sew together to create blankets. This is an ongoing project and those interested can drop off their finished squares at Ewe Can Knit in Verona, which is located at 6667 Highway 38 just beside The Verona Convenience store. Store hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10am-5pm. If you have any questions please contact Heather at 613-374-3000 or visit Ewe Can Knit on Facebook
