Come join us to knit, crochet or sew a
project for charity!
Random House has put together a
nationwide knit night event presenting Nicky Epstein's new book,
“Knitting in Circles”, knitting for charity and support for
Stitch Red. They are offering a free red scarf pattern from Nicky's
book and exclusive knitting tips from Nicky herself for attendees, plus an exciting drawing for all participants of all the knit night
events around the country.
You can knit for the Red Scarf Project
sponsored by Foster Care for Success which gives red scarves on
Valentines Day to college students that have grown up in the Foster
care system. We are offering to collect and send in the scarves knit
or crocheted before December 15th. Or, choose your own
favorite charity and project.

SCARF PROJECT GUIDELINES:
Size: approximately 60” long and 5”
to 8” wide. Scarves should be long enough to be wrapped around the
neck, with tails long enough to be tied in the front.
Style: Think unisex collegiate. Fringes
are optional. Your scarf should drape, tie easily and be soft.
Color: Red! However, this could mean
burgundy, cherry, russet, red stripes with other colors, or
multicolor hues including red.
Finished & tagged: Yarn ends should
be securely sewn in. For a personal touch, attach a tag saying
“Handmade for You” with your first name, city, and group
affiliation, if any. Donors have also included washing instructions,
messages of encouragement, gift cards, and more.
