Round of applause

With Edmonton Expo and the Pure Spec knit-a-thon right around the corner, it’s time to take a few moments and thank our knitting army. They work their fingers to the bone to help raise funds for EQ, KNTR, and YESS.org!

When you buy a hat from us, please keep in mind that our knitters devote countless hours making these hats. OK, some of them counted and have determined they’ve spent over 750 hours knitting Jayne Hats over the past 12 months (Bev, Sheelagh)!

The team is made up of many people and varying skill levels. Some are locally made (Edm & area), some are made by friends and family of AB Browncoats located in other provinces (BC, NB) and we even have a volunteer knitter located in OH, USA!

Sometimes hats are big. Sometimes they’re tiny. Sometimes there’s a dropped stitch or slightly silly ribbing. As we all know, Ma Cobb had some challenges knitting the perfect hat as well… All are perfect as they raise funds for great charities.

So from all of us, to our knitting team, thanks so much for everything you do!
