Help to knit the World's Longest Scarf!

I was recently told my a friend of mine that she had started knitting a scarf. nothing unusual there, except this friend really isn't the knitting type. When I asked why she was knitting it, she told me about Jenny Chant, and as soon as she told me, I knew I had to do all I could to help, too.

Jenny Chant has gone through more than I could even imagine - having survived cancer three times, she has now set up the Jenny Chant Appeal to help with education and support for sufferers and their families.

And now - to where you can help! In order to raise money, she has decided to knit the world's longest scarf. However, this would take her 259 years if she attempted this on her own! Therefore, she is looking for people to knit and donate pink scarves for her to add to this record attempt.

There are more details on her website - www.jennychant.co.uk - please do visit to see how you can help. There are two difficulties of pattern, and even if you can't knit there are other ways in which you can help. At the very least, please spread the word about this appeal to anyone know know who you think may be able to help.

Thank you! I'm off to find some pink wool now!

Home again, home again!

After a fabulous time in Los Angeles, and settling into my new job, I have finally found a few minutes to sit down and try and catch up! Due to downsizing, I am having to sort through all my craft room, and organise what I can, and cut down on the amount I have - unfortunately, due to moving house soon, I will no longer be able to have a room dedicated to my crafts. I am already mourning this loss, and we haven't found a house yet!

However, this is good news for you! Due to this, I shall be giving away some of my craft items, so keep an eye on this blog for my next giveaway!

I am missing being crafty and need to get my fix another way, so I'm relying on you - what crafty projects have you been up to lately? I'd love to hear about them!
