I am currently heading a knitting club that is on a mission to knit 100 scarves for woman at shelters, half-way houses and who attend a local free OB clinic. We are 80 scarves in and starting to need new patterns. This looks great and just what we need to loose the boredom. Thanks! Thanks for the pattern.

I'm a serial RAOK'er from way back! I get people thanking me for bootees I made for their baby and the person is in their 20's - for cakes I made for their family's funeral and I can't remember doing it. All kinds of things. I have a scarf to deliver to a 7 year old girl who is having an operation on her neck today, a lace singlet going in the mail for a struggling uni student who doesn't know its coming, a pink vest for a baby who's mum has post-natal depression, and an embroidered cushion for an immigrant turning 40 and missing her family. Do I qualify? I've got wool to make one of these scarves for me, and another for someone else --- but I don't know who yet! Thank you Beautiful scarf, and thank you.

I also shopped there today, which means they win both ways. my RAOK is that I donated a bunch of stuff that I wasn’t using anymore to our local Humane Society thrift store called Paws and Claws.

I've been home all evening making salt dough Christmas ornaments (I have 60 in my oven right now) to raise money for our town's church bell tower repairs. That might not seem so random, if I were a church member! I live in Spain, outside Toledo in a quaint little village (population 300 and a bit). The stone church's bell tower is in desperate need of repair, and the parish budget is 1,302.25€ short. I am not Catholic, but the church is such a local landmark, with a real working bell that is heard throughout the town. It cheerily announces mass every day, tolls slowly at the death of villagers, and also doubles as an alarm for the fire brigade. The town wouldn't be the same without it. I just hope the ornaments sell! Well, today is definitely my RAOK day.

I cast on 63 stitches of the lace weight so two more repeats. and it makes a nice lace scarf. as I was doing it hubby asked is that for your prayer shawls. I said no. then thought well... grabbed some supper wash worsted and cast on 120 stitches for a shawl. It is about 20 inches wide. So now I have two projects with this pattern. It's so easy to memorize yet looks like more difficult. I printed it out three times . Once to actually have the pattern and the other two to cut just the chart for the knitting bag if I need to look at it to remember. I hesitate to write this part but . Some one had given me a pound of white superwash. I often dye it but I didnt' before I started this one. I decided not to pull it out. I give white shawls to comfot those who have just lost someone. white for purity and the angles. at christmas well I'm sure there will be a need. Hi i’m already back .

I was sitting with lace weight yarn in hand looking for a pattern to make a scarf. The scarf will be donated as a door prize at a fund raiser for a brunch we hold for single mothers in need. I'm using cinnabar zephor for a christmas scarf tht can be worn at other times . thanks talk about serendipity. I was sitting with lace weight yarn in hand looking for a pattern to make a scarf.
