Hope Floats

We all need hope in our lives, especially for those dealing with cancer, along with their families and friends. I have been deeply moved by the powerful stories shared with me by brave men and women facing this battle. Sadly, I lost one brother to cancer, while another has emerged as a cancer survivor. Additionally, one of my closest friends took the courageous step of undergoing elective double mastectomies last year, as her family has tragically lost all the women to breast cancer. This cause is incredibly close to my heart.

With that in mind, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to design a meaningful knitting pattern for Kelly and Laura at The Unique Sheep. Introducing the **Hope colorway**, which is not just a pattern but a symbol inspired by the millions of women and men currently battling breast cancer, along with the families, friends, medical professionals, and scientists tirelessly supporting them in the quest for a cure. The iconic light pink used in this design represents breast cancer awareness and support. However, we’ve added a vivid touch of light yellow, lilac, and magenta to illustrate the diversity of individuals affected by this disease, as well as to radiate positivity and strength. These additional colors not only brighten this creation but collectively convey a profound message of hope—hope for recovery, healing, and a brighter future.

Join us in using this enchanting pattern as a reminder of resilience and the strength within our knitting community. Download the **Hope colorway pattern** today and knit with purpose, creating not just beautiful pieces, but supporting a cause that is so vital to many. Every stitch you knit becomes a part of a larger story of hope, healing, and solidarity.
