It's almost fall (in my neck of the woods) as I write this, so I think some scarf patterns are in order:


Here's something that you don't see everyday - unique and beautiful - a spiral scarf

What if you, like me, get a cold neck very easily? or maybe you just don't want the scarf to hang down where it could get tangles in something? Here's the perfect scarf pattern for you, the unisex neck scarf.

If you're interested, the "Red Scarf Project" has begun again and is looking for donations. Here's the info on it

Or maybe you're looking for something to decorate your home? How about a filet crochet heart pattern?

I have 2 new kittens, bringing the total number of cats in my house up to four (again). Since Heidi and Braveheart (the newbies) are stealing my scrunchies to play with, I should probably make this for them, some crochet sardine cat toys

or maybe a cute mouse for them to play with? Hopefully with four cats, I wouldn't have a mouse problem....

As ususal, no bribes were given to me to post this info. I wish somebody would try to bribe me, but so far, nobody has;)

Red Scarf project

If you participated in the 2007 Red Scarf Project for the Orphan Foundation of America, you may want to know there have been some changes made. The date the scarves are due has been changed to September 1, 2007 to October 15, 2007. This might seem a bit early, but the group can process the scarves earlier and get them to the recipients earlier when they are more useful. OFA is also requesting each crafter (it can be crochet or knit) to contribute no more than 5 scarves. Apparently, charity crocheters and knitters gave so much for the 2007 project, they had scarves left over.
The scarves can be navy, teal, olive and gold for the guys in the group. (I think black, too.)Please check out the guidelines for more details:
