Craft club donates warm winter accessories

CALGARY – Lethbridge residents putting their knitting needles to work, to create some warm winter accessories for people in need.

Members of the Chinook Regional Craft Club have donated hand-made mittens, scarves and toques to organizations, including the Salvation Army and Lethbridge Family Services.

“There’s about 15 ladies in our group and we have some outside of the hospital, knitters that just volunteer from home,” Says Nettie Hildebrand, with the craft club.

 “ A lot of the wool, actually most of the wool has been donated to us. So we knit all year.”
