October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Knit Pink would like to encourage you to take some time educating yourself on breast cancer this month. You’ll find some great information on the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation website as well as the Canadian Cancer Society website.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Knit Pink will donate every single penny earned from knitpink.com for the month of October to the Canadian Breast Cancer Society. We will not subtract our operating expenses from our donation this month. Please consider purchasing some patterns from our website to start your Christmas gift knitting! Or why not purchase some unique knitting needles for the knitter in your life?

Here’s a fun way to support breast cancer awareness this month: send a Boob-a-gram! “A Boob-a-Gram is an e-mailable message that you can send out to an important woman in your life (or better yet, to all of the important women in your life). It’s a lighthearted way to remind her about the importance of breast screening and the early detection of breast cancer.” (Canadian Cancer website) Do it now!

Dear fellow knitters,

Welcome to the new Knit Pink project! I am so very excited about this new site, and looking forward to seeing how much money we can raise towards Breast Cancer Research through donation to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

I would like to thank all of the talented knitwear designers who have contributed their original patterns to this site. Through their creativity & generosity, they are helping to find Hope for the Cure.

Please feel free to browse the site, and don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to help!

Sincerely,

Christina Marie Dennis
