Dougs Comfy Chair For Charity

Doug Herbison was an amazing and gererous man, he was also a knitter and my Father. This is the chair he used to knit in and draped over it is the last jersey he knitted along with a lap rug I knitted for him. You're invited to sit in the chair and knit a row or two on a charity project using needles Doug made himself. Each year on August 16th, Doug's birthday, we will donate the completed projects to a local charity. This is my way of remembering what a great man he was.
