That the Parliament commends the Nifty Crafters club of six knitters and crocheters in Renfrew for making 70 items, including blankets, cardigans and hats, which were donated to be used by prematurely born babies at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital’s maternity unit; understands that the club was founded by The Hidden Wool Shop owner, David Shand, in May 2021 with the hope of creating a community of crafters in the area; notes that the shop provides free yarn to help get new members started; appreciates the group’s recent efforts in making scarves and hats for charitable causes, including Refuweegee, for use this winter, and wishes the club well with its future charitable endeavours.
