I am starting a new project for fun. I participated in the YarnForward project and got a such a great thrill out of knowing my knitted piece is being viewed half way around the world so I thought I would start a project called the “Traveling Scarf”. This is a project that is intended to unite knitters around the world .

I will start a scarf and knit 4″ (10cm). I will then mail it on to another knitter who will knit another 4″ and then post it on to the next person. When the scarf has been knit by 18 different people it will be 72″ (180cm) long. Ship it back to me so I can document it and then I will have a draw to see who gets to keep the finished scarf or I can donate it to a charity. Then we can start another.

If you would like to participate please contact me at cathy@pattern-knit.com. Put “traveling scarf” in the subject line of your email and I will be in touch to make arrangements to send the scarf to your so you can knit your bit.
