In Memoriam :
On August 17, 2007 my sister Pam Gordon lost her battle with non-skin related Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Pam had just celebrated her 51st birthday at the end of March. This site is now in her honor. She will be dearly missed, and remembered with much fondness as an incredibly strong woman and a very generous person. The world will be the poorer for her loss.

recently gifted
Scarves From The Heart
enough yarn to make
3 of each of the patterns
they also generously
allowed us to post.
Look for the Zig Zag
and Aran Print
knit patterns on
our pattern page.
We appreciate the support
of companies, and people
like the folks at
Crystal Palace Yarns.
Thank you, Susan!
We've received some of
the scarves made with
this lovely yarn.
Watch for a picture of them!

Tell 10!
"Tell 10" campaign - when you
read this we would like to ask
you to share our link with 10
of your friends and family
members (more if you will), especially those who
knit and crochet.
If just one of those you tell
will make a scarf,
I'm sure we could add
another cancer center, or a homeless shelter
to our list of recipients.

We Need Your Help!
We are currently working toward a goal of 125 scarves by August 30, 2008 to be used for the upcoming September "Gathering of Friends" event.
We currently have enough feminine scarves, but less than half the number of masculine scarves we need to provide a scarf to each cancer survivor present at the gathering.

Can you make a scarf for charity every 3 months? If you can, please email me and sign up for our "Stitchers for the Seasons" group.
We continue to need more masculine style scaves. I know with summer coming it may be difficult to come up with light weight scarves in a style appropriate for men, so look at some of the new fibers for inspiration in addition to summer colors.
Our fall theme is "In Honor of my Father (or brother, uncle, etc.)

Scarves continue to arrive in our new P.O. box which is a wonderful thing. Thank you to all our wonderful donors.
Summer has definitely arrived in Northern California and the heat of summer has caused many of us to seek cool places to crochet and knit. Already it is time to start thinking about scarves for the fall Camping weekend to be held in October.
We've decided to ask for masculine scarves for this event as we get an abundance of feminine scarves each time we put out a call for more scarves. How about making one to honor your father, brother, or other important male figure in your life?

We now have a Scarves From The Heart group on Ravelry
If you are a knitter or crocheter and haven't yet signed up for this new web community you may want to check it out.
