Red Scarf Project

I'm kinda new at the whole blogger thing, so your patience is appreciated. I Planned on posting a little sooner but had some delays due to health problems.
I'm am so thankful for people in the world like Norma, and Mini. What would we do without them? Norma posted the latest "Red scarf" numbers today on her page 5500 scarves and 6500 estimated before the end of the week. I totally agree with her. There is definitely "POWER" in the blog, and Norma is a wonderful leader. "Scarves off to you" Norma. Enjoy your pancakes with pride. You can check out the whole story on her blog http://nownormaknits2.typepad.com/
I sent in two. I only found her site about a month ago. They were quickies, but turned out just fine. I think I will use the same pattern, but shorter for The Dulaan Project. You can also check that one out on Norma's blog site. Another very worthy project.
Speaking of worthy charity projects, hats or should I say "Moppets" off to Mini at http://minisoup.blogspot.com/
Working on finishing my first "moppet head" today. Check out her blog for all the details.
Loved both patterns picked by the Sexy Knitters group this month, but decided to sit this one out to join these project. Hope you will find some time to get on board too. Isn't that one of the best parts of our art? Sharing the joy with others?
Joyful knitting to all,
Jen

Hello All,
Newbie to site. Trying to figure it all out. I am soooo excited to be a member. You are all so talented. Love your pics, and blogs. I think I have looked at everyone of them, or close to it. I came across the club while looking for bathing suit patterns to wear to Florida. I ended up making a crocheted one.It started out as a dare, but turned out okay. The only problem I had was the yarn. It changed colors after being in the pool. I thought it was supposed to be colorfast, but it kept on changing. I started out a great forrest green, and ended up camo ??? Anyone have any suggestions about swimsuit yarns? If I knew how to add a picture, I would. I have KAL pattern Orangina, just found yarn during trip to Florida.
I am looking forward to the nominations for the next KAL.
Jen
