Birthday Scarf

In August I gave myself a birthday party. I finally took the time to get pictures.

I told everyone instead of gifts to bring a ball or skein of acrylic yarn, which will be used by my Charity Crafters group.

Here is the yarn I received. Everyone was so generous.

Also if they wanted, they could bring a bit of any kind of yarn to be used to knit a section of a scarf for me. Non-knitters brought yarn and had others knit their section. There was also a knitting journal, which after they knitted their section, they signed and put a piece of yarn in the journal. So I know who knitted each section.







Here is the scarf. I need to cast off and weave in the ends. It's a little over 6 feet long and just wonderful.

In addition to all the wonderful yarn, people gave me a Starbucks card, a gift card to Michaels and cash, which I used to buy more yarn for charity, a knitting bag, knitting books, needles, a Red Hat pin, measuring spoon, potpourri,

and...

This fabulous yarn from Great Adirondack (from Fae, who know this is just so me), which I'm going to make into a necklace.

and...

This hand knit baby alpaca shawl designed by my friend Alison
(www.spindyeknit.com/).

Isn't it just exquisite!!!
