And you would be right

Three area libraries have invited knitters of all ages to participate in the first ever Tri-Town Knit-a-Thon to help people stay warm.


The hosts are the Stratford Library, the Edith Wheeler Memorial Library of Monroe and Trumbull’s Fairchild Nichols Memorial Library. Participants will knit or crochet scarves and hats to benefit area children’s charities with regular meetings held at all three libraries, organizers said.


Knitters should plan to bring their own supplies and may knit at scheduled meetings or at home, organizers said. All contributions should be dropped off to one of the three participating libraries no later than Dec. 15.


In Stratford, knitters are welcome to meet at 3:30 p.m. Mondays in November in the Children’s Department Book Nook, organizers said. Other meeting times can be found at http://www.3townknit.wordpress.com/. For more information, call the Stratford Library at (203) 385-4165.
