GET INVOLVED

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
GET INVOLVED

Volunteer, walk, run, donate
Everything you do makes a difference!

In the last 10 years there was 1 member of my family & 7 friends of mine, 8 people that I know, diagnosed with breast cancer.
When I think about what numbers like that mean in
the BIG PICTURE
it’s really beyond frightening.
According to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure website 182,460 new cases of invasive breast cancer were expected to occur among women in the U.S in 2008. Globally more than 25 million people have been diagnosed and 10 million could die in the next 25 years without the cures.
Early detection is important!
Call your doctor and schedule your annual screening today!

Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk DK

The UPS driver did leave some new yarn just like I thought he would! You’ll be seeing it all shortly. The thing is while I was unpacking & trying to put the new yarn away I kept having to move things around to make room. One of the things I kept having to move was this Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk DK sadly this gorgeous yarn was discontinued a while back & as time passes it’s getting more & more difficult to find. But I still have some in stock & so to make room for what just arrived I’m going to offer the Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk DK at a


ONE DAY ONLY

If you have never used this yarn, I will tell you that this Alpaca Silk DK from Debbie Bliss features the softness of Alpaca spun with luxurious silk to produce a truly exquisite yarn with a delicate sheen. This DK is like a lighter weight version of Alpaca Silk.

The yarn knits up well into stunning fingerless gloves & mittens. Not to mention sweaters, scarves, leg warmers, gauntlets & well I could go on & on.
