Charity Scarves

Remember when I said that Pierson's teacher was going to teach any interested kids how to knit, so they could knit some scarves for charity?

I have been going in to school for half an hour twice a week to help teach knitting. Most everyone has caught on quickly. I finally asked who were to be the recipients of these scarves. Turns out there is a scarf drive for a high risk middle school in our county. The goal is to knit 800 scarves. I felt pretty rotten that I hadn't asked, so went home and whipped one up. You were an inspiration. Below is the Wavy Gravy scarf from Stitch 'n Bitch Nation. I used the yarn I found at the thrift shop. It's a great pattern, as it goes so quickly. So the 411:
Pattern: Wavy Gravy
Yarn: two skeins Rowan Ribbon Twist
Needles: Size 13
Started 10/11 & finished 10/13

So...if you have any scarves you'd like to donate to some needy middle school girls in Stead, NV, let me know.

While I'm at it, I decided make something for the Red Scarf Project. I haven't officially signed up, but will do so after getting halfway through. It's a nice change from garter stitch.
Up close. Sorry for the crappy photos. Evidently I'm photographically challenged this morning. It might be from lack of sleep. Last night Annie puked in her bed. It was one of the worst clean-ups I've ever had to handle. Even me, iron stomached nurse, was heaving. I know, TMI.
