Hope You Enjoyed World Kindness Day

Has anyone spotted these lovely knit items?  These were all placed in front of the Salvation Army on Simcoe Street in Peterborough, ON last night (November 13th, 2014), by some of our Kninjas.

Alright, let's start at the beginning.  So, you know how we've been talking about the secret part of our plan?  That secret was to knit charity items to use for yarn bombs (we got the idea from this yarn bomb which took place just last year in Ottawa, ON).

We chose to yarn bomb these items in a high traffic area yesterday, just in time for some snowy weather to hit (that was just a coincidence!).  But we did choose the day because it was World Kindness Day... what a better way to spread some kindness!











We've got a selection of hats, mitts, cowls and scarves.  We hope that those in need can find their way to them to use.

And who knows, maybe we'll be leaving more... somewhere... sometime!  You'll have to stay tuned.  If you've been following the story in the past week, you'll know that you've seen pictures of some items that weren't left at the Salvation Army!
