91 YEAR OLD GRANDMA KNITS SKATES TO HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR BOYLE STREE COMMUNITY SERVICES

When Irma Ferchoff was 8 years old she watched her mom knit and within a short time learned to knit. Many years later she's still knitting and now can knit a pair of skates in less than 30 minutes and thus far has knitted more than 500 pairs of skates. The skates she knits are for sale at at Violets, a boutique in Edmonton's Little Italy and all proceeds go to Boyle Street Community Services.
