Knit for the Girls 2023 Fundraiser

We're raffling off knitty daily prizes, as well as SEVEN amazing grand prizes in support of breast cancer research! Donate for a chance to win and check out our limited edition Hope & Sunshine knitting project bundles for more ways to support the cause :)

We've teamed up with Karina Moore founder of Louie & Lola Yarns in Australia and the talented Grocery Girls duo, to GO PINK [again!] in support of breast cancer research.

After hugely successful rounds 1 and 2 in 2021 where we jointly raised over $15,000, we've come together to commemorate breast cancer awareness month with another fundraiser and giveaway event. Tracie has designed a fun new sock knitting pattern called "Hope & Sunshine", Karina dyed up a cheerful palette specially for this new design and we have created an adorable rose ribbon mini leather bucket bag, embossed with the breast cancer emblem.

The bundles are priced at $130CAD / $144AUD and we will donate $20CAD to Breast Cancer Canada from each sale of this limited edition bundle, while Louie & Lola will be donating $25AUD to the Australian National Breast Cancer Foundation.
