I finished it today and I added some care instructions on a cord around the knit-with-love scarf. Of course I had to model it first!!
Here is the progress on my red scarf in the my so called scarf pattern. Only 53 more inches to go...*faint*.
I cast my red scarf on this afternoon using the My So Called Scarf pattern. The yarn is recycled from a recycled sweater I found at GoodWill's that I got lots of nice wool yarn from. I think I am gonna have to wash the scarf in some wool wash because it feels ruff to be after being dyed. It's probably just residue dye or it may be the humidity! Knittin with wool in the heat makes it stick to my skin! Anyhoo I twine dyed it."Red Scarf Project: Team Goddess
Team Goddess is a KAL (knit-along but crocheters and weavers are also welcome) blog and flickr group created to facilitate communication between, and help provide a sense of online community, between those of us who venerate Goddess, who are of like mind and who enjoy KALing for charity. The Red Scarf Project is about sending hand knit, red (any shade), unisex (no fun fur) scarfs that are sent along with a care package (packed by volunteers for the OFA) for Valentines for the college bound orphan youth. This program is facilitated by the Orphan Foundation of America to help their foster youth remember they are not forgotten while they are away educating themselves for the future. More detailed information, scarf patterns and guidelines and deadline info can be found at http://www.orphan.org/index.php?id=40 . I am not affiliated, however I enjoy the warm-fuzzy feeling I get when I know I am knittin' to make a HUGE difference. The send-in deadline is a mere 6 weeks (from Sept 1st-Oct 15th) this year so get those needles a clickin!!

And the best thing yet?! We are having a drawing on Oct. 20th of those who participated on the blog therefore we are actively looking for prize sponsors! Leave a note on the blog if you would like to help facilitate the "prize fund". We are only seeking merchandise in small quantities (a skien of quality yarn, beaded stitch markers, needles, etc) and we ask that those donating them be the ones to send them to the winner. This keeps everything much more organized and less postage and packaging is wasted this way.
So...Got red yarn? Gotta caring heart? Gotta game plan? Well then! You, my like-minded friend, are therefor cordially invited to indulge in some like-minded charity KALing with Team Goddess! I'll see you there!"
Thanks!!!
