Home   News from the Dye Pots   More Knit for the Girls Down Under Yarnie Fun!

October 05, 2024

So many of our fabulous Knit for the Girls sponsors have their own special events happening this week in support of the fundraiser, that we thought they deserved a blog post all of it's own.

Here's just a snippet of the pink boobie yarnie fun to be found between 5-12 October.

 

'Flutterby' from Daffodil Road  

Introducing Flutterby, the newest Daffodil Road Yarn club colorway to flutter its way into your stash this month! 

Soft shades of pink, inspired by delicate wings dancing in the breeze. This one is perfect for those cozy autumn knits that need a touch of whimsical charm!

Limited spare skeins available, so grab yours before they fly away! 

Sara will be donating $10 from each spare skein to the Knit For The Girls  fundraiser! 

 

Rose Quartz Markers & Earrings from Obsession Yarns 

Marie from Obsession Yarns has created a little set of stitch markers and some earrings from beautiful rose quartz.

All profits from sales of these items will go toward the fundraiser, and Marie will personally match the final amount!

 

Boobs Pottery Mug Boxes from Circus Tonic Handmade

Treat yourself or someone special to a Circus Tonic Handmade Pottery Mug Finest Box!

Hannah has curated this box with beautiful things we would love for a quiet crafternoon. She will also donate $5 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation from the sale of each box.

These Finest Boxes contain a beautiful hand made custom boobs mug by Andrina Wright of AW Pottery, a matching set of 200g Pageant DK in either blues or pinks and a beautiful Thurlby Herb Farm Bug Buster Drawer Sachet in the Gum Blossom scent.

These mugs are works of art; with carefully detailed perfectly imperfect boobs in a neutral glaze, which will contain approx 240ml. 

You'll want to be quick to snag one of these glorious boxes (we may have already treated ourselves!!)

Shelley Husband Crochet does Pinkie for KFTG

Granny square extraordinaire Shelley Husband will have her Pinkie pattern for sale this week for $5, with 100% of all sales donated to Knit for the Girls.

If you know Shelley, you'll recognise that pink is well outside her signature blue colour palette, so we are very grateful indeed that Shelley agreed to put some pink yarn on her hooks for the occasion!

The Pinkie pattern will only be available between 5th - 12th October, so make sure you jump on this if you'd like the pattern!

PLUS, with every purchase of of Power in Pink you'll receive five cute little stitch markers!* It's the Skein Sisters way of saying thanks for your support.

Grab your skein before they sell out! 

They're perfect for those single skein projects (such as Helen Stewart's Peace of Wild Things Shawl), or a statement pair of socks (LOVE!). Why not buy two and put them with another colour in Fabulous Sock (say Spellbound) and get started on the Westknits Go Go Dynamo MKAL! Every purchase will make a contribution. 

*There are a variety of stitch markers. They may differ from those shown in the images but we promise they're very sweet!

Confidence from Three Trees Fibrecrafts

Three Trees Fibrecrafts are renowned for their wonderfully rich and complex complex colourways and the lovely Rhonda has excelled in creating a special fundraiser colourway 'Confidence' for Knit for the Girls 2024.

Rhonda called it CONFIDENCE for all women who need that boost of Confidence. It is inspired by the flowers of the Fuchsia plant where the purple and pink Fuchsia represents maturity, assurance, and self-confidence. 

Wow, what an inspiration!

It's now available on both their Fledgling 4ply sock & Baa-Ram-Ewe DK (pictured above) in their shop, with $5 from each skein sold during the fundraiser being donated to Knit for the Girls.
