One of my friends, Vicky, over on Ravelry (Crobbles) is involved with the Knitting Noras which is a group of knitters from Bolton trying to raise money for the Christie Hospital. Sadly and poignantly their co-founder Sarah Richards was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2008 and very recently passed away.
The group has had publicity in Simply Knitting, Knitting, Let's Knit and the just out Rowan May newsletter if you want to read more about them.
They are selling calendar's with artfully posed nude pictures based on the Women's Institute Calendar Girls idea. The calendars can be pre-ordered from www.theknittingnoras.co.uk and you can get more information about their progress at http://nakedknitting2010.blogspot.com .
Vicky is a very encouraging and helpful knitting friend on Ravelry so do look her up there or visit the Knitting Nora's site. I hope you might be tempted by the idea of a knitting related calendar which will make someone a very interesting gift!
