BABY KNITTS Full Circle Creations


              The Art form has changed...                                                   the Philanthropic purpose continues!

In Canada, many art shows and exhibitions take place during the winter months. Due to positive changes in my personal life, I decided to reduce the marketing of my visual art pieces. That was easier said than done, now I had to find something new to fulfill my creative mind!
I needed something portable, therefore, I decided to be creative with one of my old passions… knitting! At a young age, I learned to knit from a great teacher. A Spanish woman taught me to knit my own patterns, just by taking measurements and figuring out the designs. With this in mind, I contacted my local hospital, the Queensway Carleton Hospital in Ottawa. I had the idea to donate children knitted pieces to the Gift Shop to raise funds for the hospital. The Manager of the boutique was delighted with the idea. Afterwards, I went to Yarns Ewe’ll Love Inc. in Kanata to purchase some yarn. When I mentioned what I intended to do, the owner of the store offered to donate the yarn, if I would knit for the hospital! Wow, now I had a full circle. The yarn is donated, I donate my knitted creations; the people buy those knits from the Gift Shop, the hospital raises funds and the community benefits.
In September 2018, I started Full Circle Creations!
Since then, I have been happily knitting little creations for the hospital. The unique pieces have been very well received and have raised funds for the hospital. I have a full bag of colourful donated yarns, which give me the inspiration to continue with this creative, fruitful and fulfilling enjoyment.
