Y2Knit is sisters Jill and Susan Wolcott.  The Y2Knit sisters have another sister, Sally Wolcott, a breast cancer survivor.  That's why we like pink and why we may choose products to sell that generate proceeds for breast cancer awareness. 

In the Funkstown area, where the Y2Knit shop is located, Y2Knit is active in supporting the Breast Cancer Awareness of Cumberland Valley.  Recent projects include knitting scarves which are sold in area shops to raise money and donating purses to the annual purse auction.  We're working on various styles of chemo hats too.

Jill and Susan have designed two "chemo caps"--Soft Tops.  For every pattern sold, $2.00 is donated to breast cancer awareness organizations.

We're proud to be a sponsor of The National NeedleArts Association's Stitch to Win Against Breast Cancer, a fundraising effort.

We're also part of the Sister Study, a breast cancer research study through the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, NIH and DHHS.  We urge anyone who has a sister who has/had breast cancer to consider joining this important study of the causes of breast cancer.  "Woman by woman, sister by sister, we can make a difference."
