progress, and a deadline

shannon brought over a nice big bag of scarves last night - the collection is growing steadily, and i just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's sent in hooks, yarn, or finished scarves. and also to everyone who's offered to give us a space for crafting (check out the link to the right for your mom's in bellevue - it looks awesome, and lz was really great about offering to let us use the store for a craft session). of course, since meetings aren't a very big part of this project, it hasn't been necessary to procure a space, but it's still so great of people to offer and to be supportive. so thanks everyone, this is going really well.

in order to make one main delivery of scarves, i'm setting a sort of deadline for this project. i'd like to have any finished scarves you have by december 10th. this way we can take them to womansplace and they will have them on hand for women and children who are in the shelter after that point. (of course, if you would like to make scarves to donate, but don't have much time right now because of holiday crafting, you should still go ahead and make them post-holiday season and deliver them then. western pennsylvania stays cold forever, so it isn't as though scarves are only needed in december. the 10th is just when i'd like to have all of the scarves for this specific project.)

that's all, guys. this is going really well, and i'm really grateful for the effort you're all making.
