If you would like to crochet/knit a scarf or cap for The Love Scarf Project, you can find the details here. The delivery to City of Hope (here in California) will take place on February 14th. After getting the chance to help with last year’s delivery of scarves and caps, I can’t put into words how much they mean to the patients in the bone marrow transplant ward, especially on Valentines Day. If you have the time and resources to make one beautiful scarf out of some beautiful yarn (something you would love to wear yourself) that is what really makes the patients tear up from an overwhelming sense of love and caring. From my experience with the patients, it is truly the quality (not the quantity) that makes the difference in this project.

Your story almost brought tears to my eyes. I’ve always tried to be creative for teachers at our school, but if I could get our the staff or kids … parents, anybody, to make and present scarves for patients, it would be so much more rewarding for everyone. You’ve inspired me to do something next year. Thank you from Riverside CA.
I have several full skeins of yarn left over from projects and several partial skeins left. I was wondering if you could use them or know of an organization I could send them to. My left over stash is taking over my craft room and I am in dire need of downsizing it. Any information you could send me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
