Welcome to the Coppafeel Knit-A-Long
Join me from Saturday 8th November to Saturday 15th November as we knit the Coppafeel bandana together in support of my daughter, Charlie, trekking over 100km across the Sahara Desert to raise funds for Coppafeel breast cancer awareness charity.
To participate in the KAL you will need to have purchased your Coppafeel bandana yarn kit. We are donating the profits from each kit sold to Charlie's fundraising campaign. Our initial run of kits have now sold out - Thank you so so much to everyone who has bought a kit, but you can now also pre-order a kit to be dispatched on Charlie's return with profits continuing to be donated to Charlie's campaign until 26th November when the campaign closes for this year.
You can drop in and out of the KAL as is convenient to you, and if you have pre-ordered a kit for after Charlie's return, please feel free to join us as well.

The map below shows you her route and the distances she will be walking each day, in high temperatures, camping in the desert each night until reaching Ouarzazate on day 7. A trek of over 100km.
On every day of her adventure, we will be updating you about her journey, and taking you step by step through knitting your bandana.

Take a look at the calendar below for dates and times of each live.
