Red Scarf Project KAL
Join us for our 3rd annual Red Scarf KAL! Last year was a
HUGE SUCCESS thank you to everyone who participated. And let’s make this
one even bigger and better, please spread the word.
Foster Care to Success (FC2S) is the oldest and largest national nonprofit organization working solely with college bound foster youth. For over 30 years they have helped these students navigate the tricky waters of academia, gain personal fiscal responsibility, determine career goals, and create networks of friendship and support. Since 1981 over 50,000 foster youth have received support or funding from FC2S, helping them to transition from care to adulthood through education.
Little things make a big difference in the life of a college student, and sometimes they make ALL the difference. This holiday season please join me in supporting these college bound foster children by knitting or crocheting a Red Scarf for FC2S’s Red Scarf Project.
On Valentine’s Day they send these handmade Red Scarves in care packages and the scarves become treasured keepsakes that these students wear for years. The Red Scarf Project offers a unique opportunity to use your creativity to give a truly personal gift to one student as he or she moves forward to graduation and a brighter future.
Your Red Scarf can be knit in any pattern and in any weight yarn so to support this charitable cause I have written a Free Scarf Pattern: the “Teach a Friend to Knit Scarf” and am offering 40% off all my red yarn!

Glace Bay by Laura Aylor
Laura Aylor shares the story of her new Glace Bay shawl..."I could only be somewhat sure she was real—the lady at the
bayside, her feet hanging from the wharf to the frigid north Atlantic
water.
The pattern of her shawl dipped and cut across itself like a
cold-sea current laid close to her shoulders. Or maybe it cut to and fro like
cracks in ice that spread and warm as often as they close. I could almost hear
it skipping from the wharf to the water, singing."
The center portion of this long, shallow shawl is knit from the
top down using the Jacquard stitch from Barbara Walker’s second treasury of
knitting patterns. It is a simple combination of stockinette and slipped
stitches. The ribbed ruffle is knit on after picking up stitches around the
sides.
Glace Bay is knit in a worsted weight yarn, making it an especially warm and cozy shawl. 3 skeins of my Sandrasingh 1 Ply Merino Worsted would work beautifully and this yarn is now On Sale for only $7.99 a skein!
Size: one approximately 60" across by 15" deep
Yarn: 560 yards worsted
Gauge: 20 sts = 4" in Jacquard stitch
Needles: US 7 (4.5mm)
Skills required: Long-tail cast-on, Decreasing, Picking up stitches and Increasing
