On behalf of our Hope & Sunshine Fundraiser team, Sam & Olga from Thread & Maple, Tracie & Jodi of Grocery Girls and myself, THANK YOU!
Together we have raised nearly $48,000AUD / $41,500CAD for breast cancer research, with $22.6K AUD for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (Australia) and $21.9K CAD for Breast Cancer Canada.

We couldn't be more honoured and proud to be part of such a generous, caring and supportive community.

We are so grateful to everyone for coming together to support this important cause that touches so many lives each year. Your stories of loss, survival and ongoing battles touched us all. Thank you for supporting, sharing and donating.
A very special thanks to our generous sponsors, who donated yarn and other gorgeous prizes to help make up the irresistible daily and major prize bundles. We appreciate you all.

Breast cancer has touched nearly all of us—whether personally or through someone we love. Through the Knit for the Girls fundraiser, our fibre arts community can come together to support research that saves lives.
So we thought it was timely to share an update from the National Breast Cancer Foundation as we head into our 6th annual fundraiser this October.

In the case of Susanna Kaartinen, the answer is that she found inspiration in the vast, rugged and beautiful landscapes and wilderness of our island state.
And within weeks, concepts for a Sanna & Co. Tasmanian inspired knitwear pattern collection was born.
