Red Scarf Project
I've finally started my red scarf for the red scarf project. It's a worthy cause, close to my heart and one that I've heard about from Tracy, Siow Chow, Kay and Annie. So if you have a spare moment and some red yarn, go for it and support Lisa by knitting a red scarf.
Although I would had gotten a quicker knit out of big needles, I've decided to do Tango from Jaeger's accessories booklet . Rowanette Louise kindly sent me this for Christmas. Isn't it gorgeous? Yes, I am indeed a lucky girl.
Now, the reason that I choose this design is because I love the one that Louise made me and I hope that whoever gets my tango would enjoy wearing it as much as I do.
Coincidentally, red scarf, gold beads, what an appropriate project for Chinese New year. I wish you all a happy and properous chicken year.
..and no matter what your age, if you're unmarried, don't forget to say Gung Hay Fat Choy and ask for your lai sees.

Posted by: Theresa at February 11, 2005 03:22 PMOkay...now I have that tune running through my head....I am resisting the urge to don a Firenza sweater backwards and Converse high tops. Thanks for the jog down memory lane. The scarf is georgous.

Posted by: Louise at February 9, 2005 10:21 PMPolly -- I hope you realize what a devoted following your site has. One mention from you about my wife Lisa's Red Scarf Project, and the stat logs went crazy. I've put a link back to you on our site -- it's the least we can do for the kind words. Oh, and the scarf looks awesome too!
Posted by: Jacob at February 9, 2005 06:26 PMGorgeous scarves. Anyone would be very fortunate to get that one for $10.00. I went to the website and read a little, very nice. I'll have to see about knitting up a red beauty myself and send it on.

Wishing you a Very Happy New Year!!
Really lovely elegant scarf - I have always been scared of knitting with beads - this looks just the kind of project I could accomplish :¬)
"Happy New Chinese Year"

That's gorgeous! I think I need to obtain that pattern!
Posted by: mac at February 9, 2005 03:35 PMI will sing those words if it will settle up some things between me and the universe with that karmic balance and all. That said I am not sure I like my fortune cookie on this year from the city of Hong Kong link I checked out...
That said I LOVE your scarf. You make gorgeous choices as always my dear. lace and beads... I am having enough of a time with my making waves sock that I finally am getting around to :)
I am hoping that the red scarf project lasts long enough for me to get a contract and get one submitted in time.
