Happy October, Everyone!

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

To kick it off, I am delighted to have the honour of offering the new 2010 Calendar of Hope on KnitPink.com! This calendar is purchased as an instant download for you to print at home or at your local copy center.

This year, the calendar includes 14 never-before-published dishcloth patterns! How exciting! As always, I will be donating all of the profits from this calendar to The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. So far, I’ve been able to send over $2000.00 to the Foundation from KnitPink.com. Thank you for helping the cause!

I encourage you to visit the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation website to learn more about breast cancer and to see how you can help.

I’d also like to thank Cindy Moore and her team of amazing ladies once again for putting this calendar together.

Happy Breast Cancer Awareness month! Here’s to “Hope for the Cure, One Stitch at a Time”!

Sincerely,

Christina Dennis, Founder of KnitPink.com

Tilli Tomas Flurries

Attention fiber lovers! Knit Pink now carries Tilli Tomas yarns in the Hope colorway - a beautiful, soft pink. Love silk? Try Pure & Simple or the embellished Disco Lights. Want to experience the warmth and softness of pure merino? How about Aspen or Flurries (embellished with glass beads)? Treat yourself to some gorgeous yarn while supporting a good cause. Like all of our products, all profit from the sale of these yarns will go to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

Have a look at our latest pattern download: Susanna Mae by Angela Tennant. These lovely lacey wristlets would be a great gift for a friend (or for yourself!) and we think they’d be a wonderful way to use up your last bits of luxury yarn.

I’m excited for our latest soon-to-come new product: bamboo knitting needles from Chiaogoo! We’ll be carrying these special “Find A Cure” themed needles in sizes 5 - 13. “Find A Cure.” 9-inch single points are embellished with a pink miracle bead. The design is transferred (NOT painted) and guaranteed to not come off on your yarn. Check out the Chiaogoo website for more details. We should be carrying these on our site very soon & all profits will, of course, go to The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

Knit Pink will also be carrying full gift sets of Chiaogoo bamboo needles in a plain natural finish (sizes 5 - 13) in a beautiful pink leather case. A perfect gift for your loved one… or for yourself! Stay tuned!
