    Our Distribution Center employee Mary C. learned to knit a few years ago after a co-worker taught her the craft over their lunch hour. She especially loves to make soft baby hats and blankets to keep brand new babies snuggly and warm! While she has always enjoyed giving the hats as gifts to her friends and family, she began making many, many more than she could give away – up to 14 a week! “I really enjoy knitting because it’s something that you can do whenever you happen to have time, and it’s
