Knitting Patterns
For some, knitting is a way to honor our grandmother’s legacy, also to explore our creative side, which took years to unleash. Knitting stimulates the logical part of our brains. While we are knitting we are giving ourselves a mental workout, calculating how much yarn we need or the number of stitches and rows we need.
Knitted items donated are included in every shipment sent to community centres, nursing stations, women’s shelters and schools.

The Toddler Teddies and Izzy Dolls have a history of helping children.
They have been requested by the Northern Nursing Stations where the young patients can be given a doll to focus on and hug, then take home following procedures such as immunizations and casts.
