A snow fun…

Do you like snow days just as much as me, especially if you are leaving in
Seattle LOL Well, even if there the schools and many offices closed… and
it’s not such comfortable driving as during our lovely raining days ;o) …but
it’s so Awesome to enjoy snow and get some exciting snow fun time with
the family!! I’ve spotted couple quick pictures with Kristin … yeh, definitely
not the best quality ones, but for some memories…

60 scarves in 60 days challenge. Black & White. Hand Knitted Diagonal Scarf Free Pattern for Kids & Women

60_scarves_logo

I am new to this challenge and so Glad that not too late to participate in such  good cause. Just wonder
how did I miss it the last couple of years?! For more info and how to join please click here.

Oh, and SURE you do not need to create 60  scarves, unless you’d love it! 😉  The challenge is to get people involved in making as many scarves as they would like within the  60 days and if even  60 people each make one scarf and donate it locally within the 60 days, then will meet the goal. This year opened a Ravelry group to help promote it and to keep an updated count. And so far the total is… 215!! Isn’t this just AMAZING!

I believe I made my last scarf about 5-6 years ago, so I definitely got a fun and enjoined working on some new and here are my 2 first scarves for this challenge. I’ll try to fit my schedule the best to create couple more…
