Knitting for a Cause

I certainly don't need an excuse to knit especially since I have been a roll this Fall. However, when I friend and fellow knitter told me about a fundraiser, I jumped aboard. There's a little boy in Charlotte with neuroblastoma, a cancer common in children. A local woman, who also runs a knitting store, created a pattern with proceeds going to help this little boy. Read more about it here. It's a throw knit with about 8 different yarns. Different textures but complementary colors. So, this friend was kind enough to schlep to this woman's house and pick out the colors for me, which I love - all pinks and purples. I picked up the big bag of yarn last week and and have yet to start since I am finishing up a smaller project. However, I am anxious to dig in. What a great excuse.
