We have, to date, 25 people, 26 including myself, participating in our 4th Annual 60 Scarves in 60 Days Challenge!  I believe this to be another new record of participants!  Whoo hoo!!

Here is the list of all those who are participating:

  • Olga of CT says "I already finished one scarf and started thesecond, so you can count with two from me."
  • Lucy, an elementary school teacher in Wisconsin says, "I know that every school could use scarves. There is always a child that comes to school without proper clothing in winter. If it's an adult scarf, perhaps the child's mother needs it. You can count on my for at least one scarf for my school."

  • Where are we in reaching the 60 Scarves in 60 Days goal?

                      ...        Drumroll please!      ...


    As of today, we have EXCEEDED the 60 Scarves in 60 Days Goal with having  69 completed scarves and  10 in process!!  How wonderful, how marvelously wonderful!!!  {VBG}

    The next question that comes to mind is, can we beat last year's number?  Last year, as a collective, we created 80 scarves.  There are still nine more days of this Challenge left!  Can we make a dozen (or more) scarves in the next nine days?  I think we can!

    Why not add your name to the growing list and create a scarf for charity and help us beat last year's total?  You can use up some stash (while making room for some new fiber), and try a new stitch or technique-- and you can have your name entered in my drawing for a lovely prize!  All you need to do is go here for the official rules!Tags: , , ,
