As you may or may not know the month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s a subject which hits close to many of us; a close friend, family member and even some of the people we meet through knitting or crocheting. Rosemary Chapman, the designer of The “Booby Sock” has a kit out through Skacel Collections. The Kit includes one limited edition Pink Trekking XXL yarn,"Booby Sock” pattern and beads, which comes in a clear drawstring plastic bag. This yarn was dyed especially for that purpose. Skacel is donate proceeds to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Research. So, lets knit for the cure.
