Pattern ideas for a charity knitting

Postby chelle88 » Sun Feb 13, 2011 12:22 pm

Hello
I am a relatively new knitter who has decided to use my new hobby to raise some money for Ovarian Cancer Action. Ive set up my own online shop (www.folksy.com/shops/chelle88) selling knitted cancer ribbons and small knitted projects, all the proceeds go to the charity. I have kindly been donated a whole bag of yarn from Rowan yarns and im looking for ideas of what I could knit with this yarn that people would buy so I can raise as much money as possible for the charity.

In the bag:lots of 50g of different colour DK, 100g pompom, several different colour 50-100g of silky DK, 50g 4ply, 100g chunky/aran. My main problem is there isnt enough of any one colour/type to knit anything big like a jumper. Any nice patterns that use 50-100g wool would be very much appreciated I should add that I am student *nearly qualified doctor* and after meeting so many women suffering with ovarian cancer I really want to raise awareness and support the women effected by such a horrible condition.


All ideas welcome!!!
Michelle
