Charity Knit Group    FREE
Join us on Thursday mornings from 10:00-12:00, as we knit and crochet squares to be assembled into "bed toppers" for the Victoria Hospice Society, preemie baby hats, washcloths for Our Place shower stalls, and mittens for the Salvation Army. Feel free to bring your own charitable knitting projects too! It's an opportunity to sit with other knitters, drink a cup of coffee/ tea, chat, laugh...and give something back to the community. Please bring a pair of 4.5 mm needles with you. There is a City of Victoria parkade on Fisgard, just west of Douglas Street - we have "1st Hour Free" coupons.
