Michigan Breast Cancer Coalition/”Knittin’ in the Mitten”

The Michigan Breast Cancer Coalition (MIBCC) is launching a fundraising event for knitting shops across Michigan. The “Knittin’ in the Mitten” event will start October 15th and runs through Dec 15th, 2009. Kits will be made available for knitters. The first kit includes information about the MIBCC and pink yarn with a pattern to make a 6” square.  These squares will be returned to MIBCC at the end of the event and will be sewn together to make blankets to give to cancer patients across Michigan. Some squares will also be sent to the state legislature to remind them to vote in favor of funding for Breast Cancer Research. Each kit will cost $10 and will be ideal for beginners.
The second kit will include MIBCC information and the yarn and pattern to knit a “Chemo Cap” for a cancer patient.  The donation is $20.  This kit would be for those who would like more of a challenge.  Caps would later be distributed to patients in your area with a card attached that states which knitting shop it came from.  The blankets will also have an attached card when donated to individuals.
We are being asked to please help promote this event by telling others about “Knittin’ in the Mitten.” Please join us here at Lizzie Ann’s for “Knittin’ in the Mitten,” and make a difference one stitch at a time!
