Special Olympics Scarves

I mailed out the Special Olympics scarves today. I sent them in a flat rate Priority Mail box for $5.10 and they will arrive in two days. I think it was a pretty good price even though I only spent $2.23 on each skein of yarn (one skein each of two colors). I just can't believe that you can make things cheaper than you can mail them! And the prices are supposed to be going up soon.
One thing I wanted to point out was that I used one skein of each of the colors (blue and turqua) and after making two scarves, I think I still had enough to make one more. That's not bad! I just wish I'd had more time and then I would have attempted the third scarf.
I sent an email to the Special Olympics Yarn Project and got a reply. I was asking when the 2012 guidelines would be posted and they said it would be after the 2011 Special Olympics were held. So, I'll be looking to see when the new guidelines are posted so I can up my up my donation next year.

Another Scarf

Last night, I finished a second scarf for the 2011 Special Olympics. They will be mailed out today to meet the deadline for the state of Kansas (which is the nearest state to me, since Missouri isn't listed).

Special Olympics Scarf

I have finished a scarf for the Special Olympics. I wanted to do at least two, but they have to be mailed by Jan. 5th. I used one skein each of Red Heart blue and turqua. I have enough yarn left of each to make one more scarf, I think. We'll have to see how things go.

There is a website devoted to the Special Olympics and the scarves. Here is the link http://www.scarvesforspecialolympics.org/ . I used one of their free patterns to make the scarf.

This is my first project for charitable donation of 2011.
