Yesterday, a lovely group of knitters gathered at the Knit Cafe in Toronto to knit hearts! We chatted organ donation, knit for organ donation, drank hot chocolate & ate quiche & croissants. It was a lovely morning/early afternoon. A special thanks to Robbie for helping co-ordinate & rounding up some fantastic & friendly knitters! All knit hearts will be donated to the Toronto General Heart Links Annual Craft & Bake Sale which is happening Thursday, November 18th, 2010.
Heart Links is fantastic group which supports recipients of heart transplants. In addition to sending out a newsletter four times a year, they co-ordinate a variety of events such as talks [i.e., physical activity & recovery] and social events like the upcoming Christmas party.
It was super fun to spend time with my mom in a fun & productive way. She also learned how to knit on four needles today. Woo hoo!

wow, beautiful idea of knitting hearts!
It would be a great idea to do a campaign to encourage people to donate organs, if you leave them in some places with a little note :)
