A Brilliant Idea for Any Place with a Waiting Room

September 21, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

waiting room knittingVisitors to Parkside Medical Centre in New Zealand can add a few rows to a baby blanket while they wait for their appointments.

The waiting knitters have completed one baby blanket — it took about a month — and started another. The project has been so popular they’re getting a second set of needles so more people can knit while they sit.

The blankets will be given to charity.

What a great idea!

I’m thinking I might need to start leaving baskets of yarn and needles in waiting rooms…
