And Knitting scarves Healthier than Smoking

A woman in Staffordshire used knitting scarves to good her kick the smoking routine and made an marvelous contribution to helping kids in Tibet in the process. Julie Molineux has knit a staggering hundred and one baby hats for the Save the Children war to warm children's heads in Tibet. She says she principally made the hats from "bits of spare wool. " How's that for performing with your stash?
In varying charity hat knitting news, patrons of the Knit World supply in Palmerston North (New Zealand) have knit up a storm of their own, providing 430 hats that will go to kids in need around the country. In all, the shops will donate more than 15, 000 hats to 70 variant schools.
As knitters we know that green knitting has not anything to do with the color of yarn we're using, and the Kansas City Star latterly looked at the evolution of eco-friendly yarn. Shop person-in-charge Cindy Craig says immeasurable companies have gotten more fresh when it comes to granting greener yarns, whether that means unrefined fiber or using unrefined colors rather than chemical dyes. And it bestows more choices for us, which is for all time a benefit thing.
And even if it as an example hasn't been in the news, don't ignore that this Saturday is Worldwide Knit in Public Day. If you don't know of an episodehappening happening where you live, check the site and then start one yourself if you want! Knitting scarves and be health!
