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!

Classic Elite Revolving Trunk Show

A Very Nice Nod

Lizzie Ann’s Wool Co.

The first glimpse I had of Lizzie Ann’s Wool Co. was the amazing display in the front window. Arranged on horizontal rods were dozens of miniature sweaters! No two were alike, and every possible style and color were represented in the beautiful format. What a great way to draw customers into the well-lit and expansive store!
Upon entering, the first things to catch my eye were the yarn displays — color, texture, softness everywhere! Many sample models allowed the shopper to see the limitless possibilities that could be produced with the lovely yarns available in every corner of the store. A large table invited shoppers to sit and knit awhile, and a lovely antique handmade cradle served as yet another container for yarn hanks and blankets.
My sole purchase was a walnut shawl pin which I saw in a beautiful knitted shawl on a mannequin near the rear of the store. Hand-polished and silken to the touch, this pin could double as a hair ornament to keep my long hair tidy. I limited my shopping experience because not all family members were keen on spending the short time we had in yarn stores, but I plan to return one day soon and spend more time (and money!) in Lizzie Ann’s inviting shop.
I recently visited the store’s Web site, LizzieAnn.wordpress.com, and realized how much I missed in the store. They offer classes, have frequent trunk shows and encourage community knitting. If you happen to be in western Michigan, do yourself a favor and stop in! The owner is Lindy Graff,( 616)392-2035, and the address is 54 E. 8th St., Holland, MI 49423.
