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!

Thank you to the Chat, Knit & Sew 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!
