Calling All Knitters and Crocheters!

Knit and Crochet Today! are featuring a worthwhile project to benefit the participants of the 2009 Special Olympics. Coats & Clark (the makers of Red Heart) are "...sponsoring a project to provide each athlete with a scarf created in white and delft blue Red Heart Super Saver yarns."  Coats & Clark is looking for 5,000 scarves to be hand knit or crocheted. The due date for the submission of these scarves is January 15, 2009.  The yarns to be used are Red Heart white (#311) and delft blue (#885). Any pattern can be made as long as both colors are somehow incorporated into the scarf. You can find more information about this fabulous project at the Coats & Clark website: www.coatsandclark.com/Crafts/Crochet/Features/Special+Olympics.htm
Please consider donating a bit of your time and talent for this heartwarming cause!

What a great idea! I'm not sure I'll have time to do the project since I'm knitting for the homeless again this year. But I hope they get a lot of participants!
