I have some scarf patterns on my charity page at CC if you need 'em.
Charity Patterns at Crochet Cabana
And if you need some place to send them, see Knit Your Bit . They send scarves to veteran centers across the country, sponsored by New Orleans WWII Museum.
The scarf I am making right now is my daughter's pattern, which is just one row single crochet and one row double crochet. I'll do some kind of border around, probably a reverse sc since it is Bernat camo for the USO. Photos coming when it's done, probably next week. I received differing info on size, but at least 8" wide by minimum 48" long. I also saw 8" x 60" and 9 1/2" x 49", so... check with your local shop if you want to be sure. You can always add a dc border around if you need extra.
Also, the USO collects scarves to send soldiers in Iraq for the winter. If you live near a Pat Caban's they are one of the places you can bring your scarf to, through September 30. I don't have one locally but a friend has offered to bring mine, so I will send it to her and she will drop it off for me. Then I will make some for KYB. I bought plenty of yarn slated for scarves, so this is perfect timing!
I also finished my horizontal heart shawl and will be finalizing the pattern soon. I have a busy couple of weeks coming up, but I will not forget about it. :-) I will do the same pattern in a vertical design also. As you can see, it is not nearly as pretty as the other one with the beautiful cross-stitches, but it is a heart and does make a nice showing. You could also use the pattern in a scarf for the challenge above by just doing fewer dc rows beginning and end.
That's all for today. Have a great week everyone!
Blessings,
Sandie
