Listen "Knitting For Warmth"
Episode Synopsis
For the women who make up Minden's Knitting for Warmth group, everything starts with an 8 X 8 inch square. For 23 years, this group of friends have gathered each week to sew those squares into gorgeous blankets that are then donated to organizations where the need for them is great.
Mary Trepanier is Project Manager of Knitting for Warmth and says she never expected her simple idea of gathering to knit each week would turn into the popular mission it is today. Fueled by pots of tea and goodies, the women share stories and laughs while they produce blankets of all different sizes, to be used by those in wheelchairs, new mothers and the unhoused.
CanoeFM visited the group recently to learn more about Knitting for Warmth and the priceless service the group provides.
