Yarn hugs

Free scarves, hats and other winter accessories were provided to Wright State University students at the fifth annual Scarf Frenzy. The give-away took place on the second floor of the Dunbar Library on Jan. 28.

Over the last year, scarf makers in the Wright State Knitting and Crocheting Circle created around 300 items, including baby items.

“All year long we knit and crochet items like scarves, hats, gloves, mittens, anything that will help keep students warm,” said Cindy Vanzant, assistant director of the Women’s Center.

In the past five years, the group has provided over 1,200 scarves, hats and other winter accessories to students in need.

Scarf Frenzy was sponsored by the Knitting and Crocheting Circle, the Women’s Center and the University Libraries.
