Scarves for College-Bound Foster Youth


*Sniffle*
*hackcough*

Not a productive weekend. Just pretend you've never heard of me doing anything with the TKGA.

On an up note, though, I'd like to draw your attention to this

BIG IMPORTANT THING:

KNITTERS AND CROCHETERS TAKE NOTE!!! The submission period for this year's Red Scarf runs from September 1 to December 15, 2009
A Great Charitable Knitting AND Crocheting Initiative Provides Warmth and Encouragement to Foster Youth

In 2005, OFA launched a unique initiative to warm the hearts (and necks) of college-bound foster youth. We began taking donations of handmade red scarves to put into our Valentine's Day Care Packages.

I learned about this last week from She Shoots Sheep Shots's blog, and really, the word needs to get passed along. This is such a great idea, and I know just where to get some great yarn!
