Ready for a New Project?

OK...who's in with me?

Red Heart is making scarves again this year for all the American athletes at the 2012 Special Olympics. They can be knitted or crocheted. No special pattern. We just have to use specific Red Heart yarn colors colors and they have to be at least 6 inches wide by 54 to 60 inches long. This year the official colors are...

• Red Heart Super Saver 387 - Soft Navy
• Red Heart Super Saver 319 - Cherry Red
• Red Heart Soft 4604 - Navy
• Red Heart Soft 9925 - Really Red

They haven't set the deadlines yet for each state. I think the rest of the details are suppose to be released on/by May 23. I'll keep an eye out for them and let everyone know.

Check out more information at ScarvesForSpecialOlympics.org and  2012 Special Olympics Scarf Project on Red Heart's blog. 

I picked up a skein each of Soft Navy and Cherry Red today at Hobby Lobby for like $4 each. Not sure how I'll make it yet but I'm pretty sure I'm going to work 2012 into so maybe there'll be some colorwork.
