"Around 6 years ago, I was sitting on a bench facing a field. I was simply knitting a blanket for my own personal amusement when two students approached me and asked what I was doing. Day after day, they started to come by and sit and watch while I knitted. Eventually, they asked if I could teach them. That was the day The Purple Purlers was born. Every Friday, groups of students would come to learn how to knit, and soon, the group gained over 20 new members who were all eager to create hand-made creations to give to the less fortunate animals on our planet" - Jennifer Zok (Founder of Purple Purlers).
