YORKIES IN NEED

Knitters, Crocheters Craft Sweaters To Benefit Yorkies In Need!

Harrisonberg, VA.

According to Knit Works owner Cris Reid,

the store will give free knitting and crochet patterns

for small-to-medium-size dog sweaters to anyone who

wants to participate in the project, and will take the finished

projects through the end of July. The store has collected about

20 sweaters so far, Reid said, with other customers saying

they are ready to add their creations to the total.

Store employees and the knitters and crocheters

who shop there say they are happy to see Knit Works

go to the dogs while they benefit the mission of the

United Yorkie Rescue Organization.

Knit Works will give out free patterns and take

in dog sweaters through the end of July.
