Ready, Set: Knit in the Park again!

On Saturday August 15th the Needle & Arts Centre will have their national Knit in the Park again. On Ostler Park, just across from our store. Yarn and refreshments are on us. The project will be Cotton Caps for chemo patients in our local cancer care program. Drop in any time between 11-4 pm, bring your lawn chair and something to nibble... Beginners are welcome, it's fun!

And if you come from out of town, our very own Hidden Harbour B&B takes easily 4, even up to 8 knitters.
