Knit Red Knit Along!

Come and join us in a knit along to raise awareness of women's heart disease. This illness is the number one killer of women, and since I'm a heart attack and by-pass surgery survivor, I decided I wanted to involve the knitting community in learning more about this killer. Just as "Heart disease doesn't care what you wear," I'm not going to tell you what to knit! You choose - just make it RED! You can read about the Heart Truth campaign at NHBLI , and get more information about heart disease from this terrific site.

As you can see below, I've already started my project for the knit along, knitting Aibhlinn from knitty.com's winter issue. You can make a scarf, you can make a sweater. Make this knit along as challenging or as simple as you'd like! Come join our group on yahoo by clicking the button in my links section. And make sure you check out WomenHeart, the National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease. This is a great resource site for learning about women's heart disease!
