Mitten Fairy

As many of you are aware, here in Minnesota we tend to have cold winters. Unfortunately, many children, for various reasons, arrive at school without proper outerwear to protect against the elements. Therefore, we have initiated the Mitten Fairy project.



We will be collecting handknit mittens of ANY size until November 16th. Then during the Thanksgiving holiday we will be donating the mittens to the St Paul Public schools.

We have cleared out a wall in the front of the store to display the mittens as we receive them. I would love to see our wall FULL of donated mittens. Please help us in our pursuit to keep every child warm this winter.

Thank you for posting this reminder. I've been knitting away and somehow thought the deadline was the end of the month. This gives me time for more mittens. Yeah! It is a really cute poster!
