Many of you have read the article about the drive for knitters to knit 600 scarves for the students and staff of Sandy Hook School. This initiative which started out as a simple plan to "do something" has swelled into a world-wide project! As of today, December 26, there will be contributions from almost all 50 states, as well as, many countries arouns the world! The outpouring of participation has been tremendous! Even school children are getting into the act.
The dilemma that we may be faced with, is that we may be getting many more than 600 scarves! We are asking local merchants if any of you would like to help sell these extra scarves to raise money for the families - please email me! Thank you!

The response has been wonderful. Knitters from all over the US and many other countries have responded. We will only be selling scarves if we receive more than is needed for the staff and children.
I would love one...and to give some to my friend who lost her daughter, along with her family. Let me know how...thanx jessiegilman@yahoo.com
