More Knit-A-Tit Yarn and Fiber Heroes!

Fiber love [sigh]!

If you could see this pile in person, you would swoon.   This picture does not do the incredibly large amount of fiber justice.  These are big boxes and I have them stuffed!

My dream job would be a yarn or fiber rep!  How awesome would it be to travel the US (or the World!) extolling the virtues of beautiful, luxurious, soft, gorgeous yarn?   Well, in a sense I am a yarn rep at this moment.  Below (in no particular order) are the amazing, generous, kind, supportive yarn or fiber spinners, dyers,  purveyors, crafters of all things lovely who have generously donated awesome yarn, fiber, door prizes, patterns, etc., all in the name of breast cancer.  Thank you for supporting Knit-A-Tit.  You gals and guys are every breast cancer survivor’s heroes.

This last supporter is not a fiber lover, but as we all have heard from news reports, Vitamin D (or lack thereof) has a supporting role in breast health.  I have issues in that Vitamin D levels in my body, no matter how much milk I drink or sun I worship, stays at an unhealthy level.  I take calcium and Vitamin D every day.  So, here’s my Vitamin D of choice, and should be yours as well:  Wellesse.   They are always so kind, whenever I contact them, to send me samples for various cancer fundraising events–you guys rock!

Thanks everyone for the Knit-A-Tit love! Great karma definitely coming your way!

Battling Balls for Boobs!

I want to introduce some of my pink heroes and warriors–tennis players who battled balls for breast cancer last Sunday.  Almost 50 tennis players signed up to raise money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.  A number of the participants could not actually be present to play tennis, yet they still contributed funds.  How awesome is that?

Major, major karma is stored up for all these players and most definitely Mark and Karyn Klingelhoets, owners of The Mountain Home Tennis Center.  Businesses (local and nationwide) were very gracious in donating door prizes which was, quite honestly, almost a last-minute thought!

Please support these nationwide companies who, knowing zip about me and my cause, supported us wholeheartedly:  Wellesse®, Save the ta-tas®, breastcancer.org, The Pink Ribbon Shop, and HEAD®.

For more information and pictures, as well as information about local supporters, which I beg you to thank and support, please click here.

I’m a lucky girl!
