WOW! That's a lot of prizes! Not why I'm doing this, but sure does make it fun:) Over the weekend I knit 3/4 of a scarf for the Red Scarf Project and started another one because I was too lazy to walk upstairs to wind the second skein of Cascade ;-)

[pippi]

Hey lovely ladies!
I was thinking of offering "winners choice" meaning either a hank of sock yarn, or 6oz of hand painted top (fiber).
In the lucky fibersta's choice of colors (within reson, of course; as I refuse to stock neons.)

XO!

[Danielle]

Lovely assortment of prizes! I am amazed at the generosity (not that I should be). Just an FYI: I am disappointed - I went to the Red Scarf project and noted that all the dates were for last year. So I emailed and found that the Red Scarf Project is no longer active.

I started a "Knit Unto Others" group at my church. Our first meeting is this coming Saturday so I don't know how much we'll actually get done by the 2nd. I've already knitted a child's blanket. We're knitting for abused children in San Antonio. The group will be ongoing.

Margene and Carole,
I added the button to my blog, but I'm not sure I did it right - I'm a real newbie! I'm not sure about the "save to your own server" part. If you notice something wrong, could you let me know? Thanks.

I would like to join the Knit unto Others...I am working on mittens for Lynne's project! 4 1/2 pairs so far! I am also going to knit a square for Comforting Jenn....how great the knit blogger community is!

[Krista M]

Do I just post here as I get things done? I have one hat for Dulaan finished!

[laurie in maine]

Posted my week 1 progress report on my blog this morning - 5 pair of socks since 10 a.m. last Saturday :)

Yeah...they're getting smaller!

[Mary]

I was told I should try to join you all. I've been knitting for "One at a Time Ministries" (they help the homeless in Skid Row, Los Angeles).

If it's too late, no biggie.

[susan]

I finished two soap socks today. ;)

[Joan Hamer]

I have 2 hats done and a scarf in progress so far. Pics on my blog, scroll down. I also have items that I've been knitting all year but they don't count for this time period. Still I'll have a nice assortment to give this season.

[AuntyNin]

I've got three pair of mittens and a hat thus far, though only one pair of the mittens has been photographed, due to technical failure of my 'puter at home. There has been other knitting for charity, but not during this time period.

[Hillary]

I spent my weekend knitting unto others and I have a hat and a pair of mittens to show for it.

[Lu]

I have two hats, one pair of mittens, and a square so far - posting on my blog soon!

[Laura]

Hi! Just found your site. I cast off my red scarf for the RSP yesterday. Finished two hats for Dulaan in the last few days, too. I won't win any prizes for speed, but am finding it very satisfying to Knit For Others. BTW, am a new knitter. How do I block a hat?

[marti]

I hope I am not too late for signing up. I have several hats done to donate to the local homeless.

[Amy]

I'm in. My progress is way slow, but I should have -- gasp! -- one whole item done by Thursday.

[Chris]

I've got two hats done so far, the third is on the needles.

[Kathy in Iowa]

I am knitting mittens....
I hope to have a dozen pair completed. Actually might make that goal!

[gale (she shoots sheep shots)]

Is it too late to officially sign up? The comments on the fyi were closed. I'm either tired or confused...or both!Anyway, a couple of red scarves coming off the needles soon.

[Christina]

I'm participating in this KAL and having a fabulous time! I have already finished five hats for Caps to the Capital and am close to finishing a sixth hat and a scarf for The Red Scarf Project. I am also working on a pair of mittens for From Heart to Hands.

Thank you so much for organizing all of this -- I know how much work it must be.

Oh, and in response to Danielle's 11/20 comment: it looks like The Red Scarf Project is indeed on for this year. http://www.orphan.org/

[Lauren]

I tried to leave a comment on the November 27th post but comments are closed on it. =) So, count me in!! I have several hats for the Caps to the Capital project so far.

[Lauren]

"Please leave a comment on the post below" Duh, yes I can read sheesh. Yes, I'm a dork. =)

[Priscilla]

Count me in too! I have 8 hats done for the Soaring Eagles project, and I'm not done yet! I will post pictures on my blog later in the week. Thanks!
