Be "Hopeful"
Knitgrrl designer & friend Jenna Adorno (watch the rotating top banners on the main Knitgrrl pages – she designed the adorable flowered headband) has published her “Hopeful” sweater pattern. “Hopeful” made its debut during her Knitty Gritty episode, and now you can knit it, too!
Why should you buy it? Jenna will donate 120% of the pattern cost to the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation for breast cancer research. So… every $5 pattern sends $6 to the foundation.
Be sure to read Jenna’s story behind the pattern, too. I think $5 is a small price to pay towards eradicating breast cancer, which is why I’m doing the Run for the Cure in October myself.
