Knitting for a cause

I know some of you knit, and those who want to take up the hobby may be motivated by a good cause.

The Orphan Foundation of America (OFA) is looking for people to knit or crochet red scarves to be sent in Valentines Day care-packages for parentless college students. Scarves are accepted during the month of January, and the only real guidlines are that they have to be some shade of red and about 60" long.

The website has a pretty easy pattern to use, and any local yarn store can help with the details (if they're anything like mine, they practically give you things just for walking in there).

As I told my WW group earlier, idle hands eat cookies. Knitting hands change lives. :)
