New design for Marie Curie Cancer Care


Last year as part of kitglobal I designed a kit for Marie Curie Cancer Care which they sold through their website and catalogue to raise money for the brilliant work they do. Cancer has played a pretty big part in my life unfortunately but I’m still here and this is a lovely way of doing my bit. Well I’m pleased to say they’ve asked me to do another one this year and it’s now available!

This time we decided to offer 2 options in the kit which comes in a very pretty gingham bag which matches the other products in their crafty kit range.

There’s the choice of either a pair of fingerless mitts ( you can never have too many of them, my hands are always cold) or a lacy snood. The kit comes with needles, Baby Alpaca yarn and full pattern instructions ( plus of course the pretty bag ) and costs £24.00 direct from the Marie Curie online shop which you can find here.

Marie Curie knit kit

Through Kitglobal I’m really really pleased to have been able to create a knitting  kit exclusively for Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Available online from www.mariecurie.org.uk the lacy neckwarmer kit uses our signature Baby Alpaca and you get everything you need to complete the project including a particularly funky Marie Curie canvas bag to put the lot in. Having twice been affected by cancer myself I know how devastating the disease can be but every kit sold helps to raise money that will enable them to continue their brilliant work.

I know it’s only September but if you’re one of those people that’s already begun Christmas shopping AND you want a nice warm ‘feel good’ glow when you spend your hard earned cash then this makes a fab gift even if I say so myself!
