Knit for the Cure begins next week

Georgetown Yarn and Crafts is holding special events to raise money for breast cancer research. On Saturday, Oct. 28 and Sunday, Oct. 29, knitters will be in the shop, to knit and crochet squares for a blank that will be donated the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. They will also take part in workshops, share hints and tips and much more. Knitters are also collecting pledges with all monies raised going to Knit for the Cure in affiliation with the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Georgetown Yarn and Crafts is also holding a silent auction in the shop with many items donated by local businesses, suppliers, customers and friends. This will be ongoing until the end of the day on October 29. Anyone in the community is welcome to come in and place a bid on these items for a worthwhile cause or just to make a donation to Knit for the Cure. Georgetown Yarn and Crafts is located at 170 Guelph St.
