If anyone is looking for a quick charity project to get you in the swing of fall knitting, here is a project to tug your heartstrings. The Orphan Foundation of America has been running this project for three years now. They request donations of red scarves, which symbolize love, connectedness and family - these scarves are given to foster youth as they begin their first year of college, to let them know there are people out there who care about them.
The details can be found here: http://orphan.org/index.php?id=40
They are accepting scarves through Oct 31st, and request that no one send more than five scarves (last year they received so many that they could barely keep up with shipping!). There are lots of good, free scarf patterns on the website to tickle your fancy.
