73 Scarves (+ Some Caps) Crafted!


iKnit has collected 73 scarves for St. Anthony's - almost double of our original goal of 40! Our project has been an amazing success, far beyond what we'd imagined it would be, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who has contributed to the project! It's very inspiring to see how many people care.

In a few hours, I'll be driving over to San Francisco to drop off the scarves and hats. I know that these lovingly handmade items will really brighten up the lives of those in need.

Crafting Scarves at the Library

Today, we had an informal three-hour gathering at the Fremont Main Library. Thanks to everyone who came, and welcome to our new crocheter! (:

Update on donation boxes: We are unable to set up a collection box at the Fremont Main Library. Currently, the only collection boxes are at Mission San Jose High School. We may have a 'collection day' for materials and completed scarves at the Fremont Library sometime in December.


One of our prolific knitters has already finished five scarves! Here are three of them...

Our Goal for Scarves!

Let's try to complete 40 scarves by Friday, December 16th! :D





Why not tell a couple of friends about our project? It'll be great way to spend hours on the car or airplane if you're traveling this Thanksgiving Break!

Thanks to everyone who has donated yarn! We greatly appreciate it. :)
And of course to anyone who is making scarves, keep up the great work!
