Scarves

These are the last 3 red scarves I made. They are Cherry Red, Thyme, and Burgundy.

I am done making scarves now.



These are all ten of the scarves I made in varying shades of red and two green ones.

They are varying sizes too and lengths.

I will be sending them to OFA on Friday!!

I am glad to be done making scarves for now!

35 I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

A green one



A green red scarf!!!

I was reading the OFA site and they also accept green, black,and blue colors among other "manly" colors.

This one is medium thyme, which is actually an olive green type color.

It's Red Heart yarn and it is 75 inches long by 6.5 inches wide.

A little longer than normal but I am sure that's ok.

July blanket



I just finished this blanket last night. It is folded in the picture.

It is 32 inches by 36 inches, so almost a square.

It is made with 14 ounces of Bernat baby cotton yarn and 14 ounces of white. I hold the two strands together and it makes a firmer/heavier blanket. I love the cotton for baby blankets because they are so soft and warm for babies.

On a related note, last year I came across a site called Orphan Foundation of America. (it's listed on the sidebar under sites for donations)

The foundation delivers red scarves made by volunteers to orphaned/foster children that are in college.

I found the site too late to donate for last year since they take donations to give out September through October. But this year I plan on making several scarves. Red is one of my favorite colors too.

I will post a picture when I am ready to send the scarves.
