Holiday Scarves Project Needs A Name
May 17th, 2010by Doug Huggala
“Knit 2500 scarves. By hand. By Christmas.”
That’s the idea behind St. Anthony Foundation’s Holiday Scarf drive planned for this year’s Christmas Celebration. We want to give every guest who comes to us for a meal on December 25th to leave with a brand new, hand knitted scarf to keep them warm for the following winter months.
We’ve got a lot of work to do in the next six months to insure that all our guests get these thoughtful gifts by Christmas. We’re still undecided on what to call this outreach of crafty support, that’s why we’re reaching out to you.
Have an idea of what to name it? Leave your naming idea in the comment’s field below by Monday, May 31. We’ll take the best name’s a present them on the blog to be voted on soon!
Download: PDF Flier with more information. Please feel free to email it to your friends and family and encourage them to participate as well!
Update: The votes are in! This project will be known as “Scarving Artists”. Thanks for the suggestion, Bill S.!

Greetings: I am the teacher at the St. Anthony’s Madonna Quilter’s At 350 Golden Gate. May I suggest that we expand the scarves to fleece and wool fabricswhich are very warm, the Madonna Quilter’s will committ to 250 scarves or 10% of the goal! I promise they will be done nicely and will be reversable with warm fabrics.
I also have tons of colorful yarn to donate to this project. 50 – 100 skiens of yarn. Where would you like me to bring that. If we provide yarn, more knitters will participate.
My name suggestion is “A knitting hug for the holidays”.

From a friend in Texas: Psalm 30:11 “You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.”

Glad to know we still have people of conscious who care in this world filled with greedy, self-absorbed abusive sociopaths. The misinformed call you saints. I just call you people of conscience.
