Knit and Purl for the Friends of the Library

Cast on your stitches, check your gauge...Knit, Purl with Friends of the FPL. Come and join "The Nancy Project." It's a fund raising effort by the Friends to knit or crochet scarves to sell during holiday shopping season with the proceeds to benefit the library. Why not start knitting a scarf today? Not a knitter...consider a donation of yarn or money.

Last year we raised over $1,800. Local knitters donated an amazing array of beautiful, colorful scarves, hats, mittens and one very cool (wood!) birdhouse. How about scarves knit in local school spirit colors--red and gray for FHS, blue and gold for STB, or purple and gold for MT? Or maybe doll clothes for the popular American girl dolls? Scarves can be lovely accessory on a special outfit not just a neck warmer under your winter coat. The possibilities are endless!

Completed items can be left at the library. Please leave your contact information (name, address or email).
