Lids 4 Kids- Ontario

Launching into year 5, this homespun group of knitters, handcrafts warm wear for donation to vulnerable populations in the early throws of winter. I know-hard to think about winter. But I can think of nothing better than sitting in the shade with a cold be my & my knitting. Do you love knitting & want to contribute? All are welcome! Do you work with a community of folks who could use some warmwear this winter? Email [email protected].

For my knitting friends..

Please join me in welcoming newest knitting guru, Amanda Rocheleau, MSW, RSW Compassion Fatigue Therapy. Amanda is a practicing social worker, who is passionate about mental wellness for all and who likes to knit to relax. A perfect fit for our group! Welcome Amanda!

This spoke to me. Nesting & knitting, with bursts of outdoors is my way of enjoying winter. How do you enjoy winter?

Ben: With the lousy weather expected in Kingston this weekend, I happened to walk by this act of kindness. These warm hand-knitted scarves and toques are hangin...g in McBurney (Skeleton) Park with notes encouraging those who might be in need to take one. Way to look out for each other, Kingston.
