Scarves from our knitting group
Kudos to the Stratford Library knitting group that created so many wonderful scarves and hats. We’ve just decided to donate them to the Sterling House Community Center Mitten Tree, and here are some pictures. One more week!
Melissa from Trumbull had contacted the library about dropping off a few bags of scarves that she had crocheted. They were delivered today for a whopping total of 34 scarves! We are so appreciative.
Just wanted to say thank you to all those who showed up for knitting today in Monroe. 17 hats, 17 scarves and 2 pairs of mittens. Wow. What a great group.
Every week the folks at Spring Meadows in the Chat, Knit and Sew group create items for various charities. Every December, they create a “Tree of Warmth” and this year the “Tree of Warmth” will be donated to the Tri-Town Knit a Thon. Thank you so much and we look forward to seeing you at the library!
Hello Knitters!
We are very excited to open our craft room this Friday-November 6 at 2:00 PM for our first session of the Tri-Town Knit. Looking forward to seeing everyone. Did you see the article in the CT Post?

The box for finished hats, gloves, and scarves is at the adult circulation desk. Let’s make sure everyone stays warm this winter!
Here’s the publicity from the Stratford Library. Hope folks can join us.
