We are having a fund raiser for the SOS project for Howard County General Hospital. We will be having raffles, silent auctions and pink treats from 10:00 -6:00 (we will have pink food from 2:00-6:00)! You can also have the chance to sign up and be a member of our "Race for the Cure" Team. We are having a "Sleep in for the Cure" team this year. Details at the shop.

Help us launch our "100 Scarves in 100 Days" campaign.

The Celtic Knot is donating 100 scarf kits to be made from now until mid October. You may pick up a kit while supplies last. There is no charge! Sign out a kit and return it to us! It is that easy to help! You may also purchase yarn to make your own scarf for donation as well. All money raised will be directly donated to the SOS project to help purchase items for patient recovery gift bags.

Some items we have for auction are: signed books from Nicki Epstein, (along with a signed knitting bag!!) The Yarn Girls, Stefanie Japel,and many more.

If you don't know about SOS - here is some info:

SOS - Survivors Offering Support

Survivors Offering Support (SOS) is an all volunteer organization of Breast Cancer survivors who have dedicated a portion of their valuable time to help recently diagnosed women through the ordeal of treatment and recovery. Each volunteer must complete a four step training process that begins at the hospital where doctors brief them on treatment options and the pathology of the disease. The local SOS organization supports Howard County General Hospital and The Center for Breast Care in Columbia, Maryland.

As part of their efforts to guide patients through the recovery journey, SOS provides Recovery Gift bags delivered by SOS volunteers, filled with useful and needed gifts rom local and national businesses to each breast cancer patient on the day of their surgery. Included in these bags are beautiful, handmade pink scarves.
