I don't remember how, but I came across the 2011 Special Olympics Scarf Project online one day. (You can get more information for yourself at this website:
www.scarvesforspecialolympics.org) The youth in my ward were volunteers at last year's Olympics, and they're still sharing their special experiences nearly a year later. Because of that sharing, I was inspired to participate.
I searched the internet for free and easy scarf patterns, and I found several that I liked. I started with this mile-a-minute option, and I think it turned out okay. It really did work up quickly, and it gave my hands something to do while I watched football games with David.

So the first one is done. My goal is three. Football is almost over, so David and I are going to have to find something else to watch together!
The shipping deadline is February 19, and Washington wants 1300 scarves for their Olympics. If you finish a scarf or two in time, I'll send it in with mine. And if you make dozens, we'll just have to drive to Seattle to deliver them
