Pink Day at Morris and Sons

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Morris in Melbourne are making October not only Breast Cancer month, but also a month for women all over the world. On the 29th October we will have a pink day at the Melbourne store. Come and join us for a very pink day. To take part in the proceedings and to go into the draw to win a very pink hamper of goodies, including pink champagne, here are the rules:
Come in wearing something pink.
The more pink the better. Bring along a pair of 4mm knitting needles (or buy a pair in store).
Buy 1 ball of Morris and Sons Estate 8 ply (50g) or a hank of Morris and Sons Arabesque 8 ply  (200g).

You and a friend could share a hank of Arabesque! Have a seat and begin to knit a square for the Fistula Hospital. All the details and the pattern for the squares will be available on the day. Pink cupcakes, tea and coffee on tap all day. The day begins at 10:00am and ends at 4:30pm, at which point we will have the draw.

By the way, you don't have to be in Melbourne to join the squares knitting project. The squares need to be 25cm square. Knit in garter stitch, (make sure you slip the first stitch of every row). Post the squares (address below) to us with the receipt of purchase of any of the above mentioned yarns and we will enter you in the draw. Squares to reach us no later than the 28th October. The staff will sew the squares up and invite you all to add a comment to your square if you wish. We'll photograph it and have it in our next e-news. Come along, have a heap of knitting fun and enjoy some really good company!

Please post squares to:
