An Airdrie woman is hoping her love for knitting and toques can help her and her husband grow their family by at least one more.
KLG Knits owner Kelsey Gyarmati says she began knitting about eight years ago, around the same time the couple started trying to have a baby.
“We’ve gone through multiple medicated cycles, as well as a procedure called IUI (Intrauterine insemination). We’ve gone through as many of those as possible and for some reason it’s just not taking for us,” she says.
They are now looking into In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF treatment) which she says is very costly and isn’t covered by the province or the couple’s health benefits.
She says for them to go through one round of IVF treatment, the procedure will cost them about $30,000 out of their own pocket. And to pay for it she’s hoping to sell one thousand of her handmade toques.
