My story

Brilliant day today we raised £1860 at Orgasmic Cafe Bar and even got on the BBC Look North, I am selling the scarves until Xmas to contact me if you would like to buy one or two. We have now hit with over 3792 scarves to be sold off, you can donate on line then email me your address for a scraf or two, thank you so much to everyone that has helped me hit this fantatsic target for join in the fight for women's survival by helping the RAW team KNIT THE YORK WALLS! We need 2832 scarves ready to wrap around the 2.5miles of the York wall by Sunday 21st November 2010. Help by knitting a scarf (around 15cm by 150cm long) in any colour (shades of pink preferred) and any design. The scarves will then be sold to raise money for Cancer research UK's research into breast cancer Sunday 21st November 2010. Join us in York on Sunday 21st November 2010 if you can! Orgasmic Cafe Bar 12-7pm scarves make great Xmas presents! The RAW team will be doing some EXTREME KNITTING on top of Snowdon in September (Many thanks to TESCO's for their donation of water for the hike) Then the EXTREME KNITTING will be going global, first stop India ..... next stop? You tell us - are you an extreme knitter? Send your photos to racheljspeight@hotmail.co.uk There are a number of ways you can send your scarf to us once you have knitted it: Drop it off or post it to: Ramshambles Wool Shop, 46 Shambles, York 01904 639500 Or give it to one of the RAW team motivating knitters around the UK (see posters and flyers) Alternatively, you can donate money on this page to help the RAW Team to achieve their target.
