Introducing Knots for Hope

Knots for Hope cancer resource

For the past few months, the SDN Gals have busy bees, working hard to debut a new resource that’s oh-so dear to our hearts. You may have noticed that in October we debuted the SDN Spotlight series, which highlights the stories of amazing bloggers affected by cancer — but that was just the beginning.

Today, we are beyond excited to bring you Knots for Hope: a place of inspiration and support for those affected by cancer. Whether you, your mother, daughter, sister, friend, co-worker, or neighbor has been personally touched by this disease, we sincerely hope this resource serves as a reminder that you are not alone.

Complete with real life stories that start in our own backyard and reach across the globe, informative cancer resources, and a bevy of beautiful head scarf tutorials, the goal of Knots for Hope is to foster an environment of understanding and support for real women dealing with this very real disease.

Please, join our conversation today and start knotting for hope!

Oh My Lucky Scarves!

Scarves Dot Net St. Patrick Day Collection

Hey there, lady leprechauns! St. Patty’s Day is one of our favorite holidays, not only for the all-day festivals, corn beef and cabbage, and warmer weather, but for the green fashions, too! There’s nothing more cheerful than wrapping a shamrock-hued scarf around your neck — which is why we’re happy to announce the release of our St. Patrick’s Day Collection!

Specially chosen by our Erin go bragh editors, we’ve picked a bevy of greens (to keep pinches at bay), golds (for that pot at the end of the rainbow), and oranges (to honor ye olde Irish flag) for each and every Irish-lovin’ gal. So grab one – or a few for mixing and matching — and cheers to a gloriously sunny day full of good friends, green beer, and grand memories.
