The packing and shipping days at the OFA are Feb. 5th and Feb. 7th, and we have far surpassed the goal of 2,500 scarves. (by a multiple of three!)
If you haven't mailed your scarf yet, please hold it for next year or give it to another worthy cause. You might want to consider your local homeless shelter or women's shelter, or send it to the Dulaan Project. There are always worthy charities that are waiting to receive your handknits.
Or keep it as a ready-made holiday present for next year, OR wear it yourself. You deserve it!
Thank you to all the wonderful knitters and crocheters who participated. I can't wait for next year!
Thank you, Norma, for all your work spreading the word about this great project and for maintaining this blog!

I am looking forward to participating next year as well. I found your site a bit too late to contribute this year but I love the whole idea! When do you start up again for 2008?

I'm so excited because you posted my pictures! I had so much fun doing this. I used up a bunch of stash yarn, too. I hope the Orphan Foundation wants to do this again next year, because I'll get my knitting group to join me. Thanks so much, Norma.
