Knitters for Global Warmth
by Peggy Beckett
What takes up a space 3 ½ feet high by 4 feet wide and 15 inches deep in my bedroom? The answer is 213 knitted articles you have sent me this past couple of months! Thankfully, my brother and sister-in-law delivered them to Kids Alive in Cambrdige this week so I now have room for more. Articles came from Renfrew, Kazabazua, Osgoode,
Kars
, North Gower,
Kingston
, Maberly, and
Sharbot
Lake
.
People have donated more yarn also, so if you are in need, call me at 613-268-2443. As promised, here is info on Kids Alive. This is an international organization committed to "rescue orphans and umprotected kids, restore their dignity and create hope for their future". They operate in
