Auctioned Mittens
About two years ago I knit these Magnificent Mittens (5-1 Mitten, by Anna Zilboorg) to be auctioned off to benefit the local school board’s “Food Sharing Project”. I was able to borrow a copy of Anna Zilboorg’s book from our local library and had fun looking at the amazing and intricate patterns. I knit these out of Brigg’s and Little Tuffy wool. It made me feel good to be able to do something to support such an important local initiative.
The annual Talents & Treasures Auction goes a long way in supporting the Food Sharing Project. It raises much needed funds to provide approximately 3,500 students, daily, in about 80 sites in the Limestone District School Board and the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board with the nutrition they need to be successful students.
The 2010 Auction is taking place tonight. It’s always a good show, with a great variety of items to bid on. Bring your friends!
