First Finished Object Friday 2009

Here is my first Finished Object of 2009:




It's a charity scarf to donate to the Special Olympics World Winter Games.

It's made with double-stranded Red Heart yarn, in the Special Olympics Winter Games colors. I used a 60 inch long size 10 circular, cast on enough stitches to fill the needle, & had plenty of mindless knitting for a couple day's worth of meetings.

However, there has been an overwhelming response to the call for hand-made scarves for the athletes. They have received over 14,000 which far surpasses their goal of 5000. Therefore, the scarves collected at the Knitting Guild meeting tomorrow are going to be shipped to the Heartland Regional Special Olympics Winter Games instead.
