Oh, I'm all teary-eyed. Look what I got from Lyssa:
Hi Norma,
It's that red scarf time of year again. Since last year when you sent me some yarn to make a scarf for the project, I have graduated from college and gotten a good job (woo hoo! I can afford to buy yarn now!). I have also relocated to North Hollywood, CA. I read about the push to get Panera to sponsor, and I'd like to hold a red-scarf knitting night at the Studio City location (12131 Ventura Boulevard, Studio City, CA 91604) to meet new friends locally and help out. This will be Tuesday, November 7, gathering 7pm.
If you could post this to either the red scarf blog or your main blog, I would really appreciate it! I hardly know anyone around here yet.
Thank you,
Lyssa
I'm so happy I could burst. Last year Lyssa was a student and left a comment that she didn't have any red yarn, but she'd be happy to knit up some of mine if I sent it to her, and I did and she did.
Now she's paying it forward in a very big way and is going to host a red scarf knit night at the Panera near her. (heh, before my post urging about writing Panera, she did not know there was one near her, but she found out she has one pretty close) If you're in her area, please join her for her Red Scarf Knit Night, and please let me know all about how it turns out. Pass it around!
love it! love them all!
just can't get enought of them!
i'm doing the reversible scarf pattern yarn harlot has on her blog, except instead of doing K2, i'm doing K4.
anyway, just wanted to say HI and that my scarf will be BRIGHT! i'm using cascade220 that was dyed with Kool-Aid drink mix! red and orange. :o)

I live in El Segundo, which is not totally near Studio City, but close enough to bother in order to meet some nice local knitters. I will try to be there! Thank you, Lyssa, for organizing it.
