 Camp Erin Bears
Calling all knitters, we need your help! We are in our 6th year of
knitting and dressing bears for Camp Erin. The "naked" bears are
donated to Hospice and we knit them sweaters and
accessories....use your imagination or one of our free patterns.
Great Yarns also has a "bear" stash if you need yarn.
The bears are given to children
who have lost a loved one and are attending bereavement camp run
by Hospice of Snohomish County. In addition Erin Bears are given
to children on Hospice service and there siblings.
Charity knitting is a great way
to get involved and these adorable bears will help heal the hearts
of young children dealing with a loss.
Stop by the store
and check out the bear of your choice,
return him
dressed on or before the 27th of August.
