Knit for the Girls
Welcome to our 4th annual fundraiser in the fight against breast cancer!
Join us, Sam & Olga of Thread and Maple, Tracie & Jodi of the Grocery Girls and Karina Moore of Louie & Lola Yarns to raise funds for life-saving breast cancer research.
Thanks to the support of our wonderful community, we've jointly raised over $140,000 for breast cancer research since we started running this event, 3 years ago. We're back and more excited than ever, to try and up our tally into the 200's!
Here's what we've got going on:
✨ Fiber-tastic raffle prizes for donors to the North American & Australian fundraisers awarded daily from October 5th to October 12th.
✨ Over a dozen grand prizes drawing from list of all donors October 12th, featuring luxurious accessories, patterns and yarn bundles of North America's & Australia's Finest Indie Dyers
✨ A new limited edition 2024 'Knit for the Girls' bundle, available for purchase at 12noon EDT Saturday 12th October here in our shop, with $25USD/$30CAD from the sale of each bundle donated to Breast Cancer Canada. The bundles will also available for purchase in the Louie & Lola Yarns and Grocery Girls online stores.
✨This year, we're excited to announce that we've partnered with not one, but FIVE talented designers, offering five choices of pattern with the bundles, including options for crocheters:
- Tracie Millar - Galiano Socks (knit)
- Helen Stewart - Wishing Star Shawl (knit, new exclusive release!)
- Melanie Berg - Rainy Day Hat & Mitts (knit)
- Toni Lipsey - Party Punch Shawl (Tunisian crochet)
- Carmen Heffernan - Vintage Peach Shawl (classic crochet)
==========================
With 1 in 8 women diagnosed with breast cancer, it’s hard to find a member of this tight-knit community who hasn’t been impacted--be it personally or through a family member or friend.
That's why we're coming together again to raise fund towards the goal of ZERO deaths from breast cancer!
Your contributions will support Breast Cancer Canada and National Breast Cancer Foundation Australia, both of which fund world-class breast cancer researchers. We wholeheartedly stand behind their vision of no deaths from breast cancer, and want to do all we can to help make that vision a reality.
Let's unite to show support for this important cause.
