Calling all knitters! If you love to knit, Assiniboine Park is the place to be this weekend.
About 100 people are expected to gather at the popular park for World Knit in Public Day, a global celebration of creativity and community.
The gathering will happen beneath the trio of large trees just east of the Assiniboine walking bridge, and knitters of all skills are welcome to attend.
Participants can enjoy their hobby alongside fellow knitters for three hours, while supporting a good cause.
Anyone who has unwanted fibre tools or yarn is encouraged to bring them along and donate them to the "good cause knitters" and schools in need. The donated items will be used to make hats, scarves and blankets for shelters.
Also, knitters who have any handmade items, such as mittens, toques and scarves, they wish to donate can do so with Chase the Chill, which will be on hand to collect the items. In the winter, those items will be handed out to people who need them.
The Manitoba Craft Museum and Library will also be at the event, offering activities for the kids.
World Wide Knit in Public Day is set to take place on June 14 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
