With so much snow and temperatures plummeting, some people might find themselves shivering, but thereSA国际影视传媒檚 something happening at the Yellowknife Public Library to make people feel warm.

A knitting club has been formed, made possible by Brad Cremasco, the public services librarian, and Aingeal Stone, a longtime knitter.

SA国际影视传媒淏rad the librarian here, he does the programming,SA国际影视传媒� said Stone, whoSA国际影视传媒檚 the facilitator of the knitting group. SA国际影视传媒淚 was in a book clubSA国际影视传媒� and I mentioned that I knit, and so he asked if I would be interested to facilitating the knitting club through the public library.SA国际影视传媒�

Since then, Cremasco and Stone have chosen various knitting patterns and settled on hats as an initial project to help newcomers learn the basics of knitting. At the same time, itSA国际影视传媒檚 also meant to support the SA国际影视传媒淗at, not HateSA国际影视传媒� anti-bullying campaign.

SA国际影视传媒淪o it is a very simple beginner knitting pattern, so everyone will get a label (to put on their hat),SA国际影视传媒� said Stone, SA国际影视传媒渁nd yeah, weSA国际影视传媒檙e just knitting away.SA国际影视传媒�

Limited supplies of yarn and needles were provided for beginners to learn, but the library encouraged all participants to bring their own yarn and needles if they had them.

The program takes place at the library on Saturdays starting at 1 p.m. The first sessions ran Nov. 12, 19 and 26, but Stone anticipates more get togethers in the coming weeks.

She was there to help people out to the best of her ability and she encourages participants to have fun. Some of the club members know different techniques that others donSA国际影视传媒檛, so they too share skills and ideas.

Stone said sheSA国际影视传媒檚 looking forward to welcoming more people in the future, even if they just want to work on their own projects.
