Someone posted on here late in Nov. about crocheting scarves for Special Olympics. So since I like to do that too, I figured I could do a few. So I did a Bakers Dozen. After quilting during the day and this board. I would get ready for bed, watch a little tv and crochet. Hopefully they will email me next year so I can do it again. The colors were picked by Red Heart Yarn, and this is 2011's colors. Each one I made is just a little different then I one I did before it. Just like each of these young adults are all different and special. Thank you for whom ever put in that post. These young adults have a special place in my heart. I used to work with them when I was younger, and it was the best job I've ever had.

Wow, that's great!

Bless you heart!! Those are beautiful :D:D:D

Those are beautiful. Wish I had known about it. I love to crochet and would have made a couple. Hopefully I'll find out next year.

They were fun and easy and for a special cause, so I was happy to do it.

Those are beautiful - very kind of you.

so very kind of you. they will be so appreciated, but you already know that. thank you.

I'd love to get in on that. Make sure it gets posted please next time around. Where did you send them to?

My daughter is a Special Olympian and I have been on our loal board for about 5 years. Thanks so much for donating to a great cause!! These athletes need all the love and support we can give!

I just saw this on a site, is it the same?

Beautiful job on the scarves! And for a wonderful cause!

Wonderful scarves!!! That is so sweet of you :)

Love the designs and colors.

Yes this is the site. It covers most states. I live in NM and they didn't have it, so I did SD because I have a lot of Native American friends up there and know a lot of the state has less money than a lot of other states. So there still may be states that need some and you still have time to make some.

Thanks for the info. I just found out that in Ohio I have a few days left before they have to be sent out. I am going out tomorrow to get the yarn, and am going to try to get at least a couple of them done.

That's great, Ohio is actually where I worked with these kids. Cleveland area, but I wanted to do SD this time.

WoW!!! Just to let you know, I ran to Walmart today and got the yarn, found out I have about three days to get them in the mail, so am crocheting furiously when I'm not on here. Again, thanks for all the info, and am glad I can do my part to help!

That's great, every scarf helps. I just wish I was able to be at their games. That would be so rewarding.

I just finished one for my grandson. he'll be snowshoeing a week from Monday. Thanks for the info.

Oh that's cool....hope he has fun...they all win no matter what. I couldn't even snowshoe, so you give him my encouragement. We are rooting for him :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
