The next box has been sent and hopefully it'll arrive before the beginning of December - it's another heavy one, the scarves had to be pressed down so I could close the box and tape it shut!

Thank you! I'll let you know when it arrives and I'll be careful opening it! :lol

I was just wondering if you still needed scarfs? I have some scrap yarn I am trying to get rid of and I was also wondering if we have to use a certain pattern. I work crazy hours bit will help out the best way I can.

Yes, I certainly do! I accept scarves year round for this project! You can use any pattern that you like. There is more info on my website. The link is in my signature. Just remember that it is only a guideline. The care and love that goes into making these scarves always shows. Thank you for your interest in helping. :hug

Hi Everyone! I'm back with pics! (I hope, lol!) Well, it's a good thing that I got to the center today. They were out of scarves! :eek Yes, they have been going thru a lot of them. The good news is that this project has really caught the eye of several of the other crisis centers in the state! They are all asking for scarves! I think that's a good thing! :lol Of course that means a lot more :crocheting! I've got my thinking cap on as to how to get some help locally. Of course, I love seeing them coming in from around the world! :)

OK, enough jibber jabbering, lol! Here is the slideshow! Oh, you'll see one pic with 2 scarves by themselves. DH moved the box on me, so they almost didn't make it into the batch! :eek Good thing I remembered them at the last minute! I'm so sorry!!!!! They are lovely and they did get delivered with the rest of the scarves today! :hug

Oh wow already out of them! I think it is good that more places want them. I will def help when I can! I know Sissie has a month or so set to help you out again on the yahoo group she runs. :D

Thank you for your help Jessica! It's hard to believe, but with the economy being the way it is, I think it also influences emotions which leads to the abuse sometimes. Hard to explain, but there seems to be a trend. (just my opinion) And yes! Sissie does have this project scheduled for, I believe, next September! :cheer

I'm in SoCal but volunteered briefly at a halfway house for women when I lived in OK so I would love to help & I'll see if I can get at least 2 scarves done for you. :yes

 

What is the deadline again?

Thank you! This is an ongoing project. There is no deadline. I bring the scarves into the crisis center once a month unless they need them sooner. :hug
