Knitters donate hundreds of blankets to Christmas hamper program
Not only will recipients of Christmas hampers from the Battlefords District Food & Resource Centre have full stomachs this holiday season, they will have warm hearts and warm hands.
A local knitting group, which goes by Crochet, Knit and Natter online, have donated between 200 and 300 handcrafted blankets to fill hampers this holiday season for those in need.
The group has knitted charity items for the past number of years, making 132 toques for the Battlefords Early Childhood Intervention Program and over 300 for Kids First last year.
“We are just a bunch of women who love yarn and like to do stuff,” founder Vistara Sidebottom said.
