Red Scarf Project

Again this year, the Orphan Foundation of America is sponsoring its Red Scarf Project. Individuals and organizations are asked to donate up to five unisex red scarves that will be given to kids in foster care for Valentine's Day. You can get information about the program at http://www.orphan.org. They are accepting donations between September 1 and October 15. This is a great way to support a group of young people who are often forgotten.

Ahhhh

I belong to a charity knitting group; okay, I belong to several. But the particular one I'm talking about is Knitting Hope. Each month a new charity is chosen, and we knit something for them. The August project was potholders/hot pads. For September it's baby things.

Now, I'm not a baby person, and I've never knitted for babies or children before. But I've had so much fun expanding my knitting horizons that I've signed up to knit for other babies and children charities. These are my very first booties!
