Got a heart of gold? Put it to good use!

For all you do-gooders out there, here is a charitable way to spend your Sunday this weekend.

One of Philly's local yarn shops, Loop Yarns on South Street, is having a charity knitting club event on Sunday, July 15th from 1-3pm. Loop is donating the yarn and patterns so all you need are your needles and an open heart.

The aim is to knit squares that will be later composed into blankets for Project Linus which is in need of blankets for teenage boys. Project Linus, a non-profit organization, donates blankets to children who are affected by illness and trauma, or who are otherwise in need of a lovingly handmade gift.

The club will continue to meet on Sundays to further help Project Linus keep kids cozy and comforted. You'll find me on South Street this Sunday pitching in and I encourage all you Philly fiber lovers to stop by.
