Hey everyone, don’t forget to email Norma with a photo of your finished product. She is adding it to the gallery on her Red Scarf Project 2007 site.
It would help if I told you where to visit my blog. Duh!

Now you know why it’s taken me so long to blog.

I finally have a blog. Just couldn’t hold out any longer. A picture of my red Cable Embrace Scarf is there. Please visit. I’ll be posting a lot more as I go along. Almost done with the Irish Hiking Scarf.

Hello all! I’m new to the blog and looking forward to knitting red scarves with everyone. Unfortunately, I cast on for this scarf just before discovering this project, and while it is red, I think it may be to gender specific and not really a unisex style. If it’s not acceptable, I’ll be happy to knit another one, of course!
Looking forward to your feedback,
Krista
Edited: to make the picture just a little smaller! 
I’m on my third ball of Patons Merino. It’s looking pretty long, but the sides are curly. I’ll be blocking the it like crazy. Now that I’ve figured out how to post, I now need to figure out how to post a picture. Baby steps….
It’s HUGE! I thought I’d use up this whole skein of yarn, it’ll be long enough. Now it’s longer than I am tall, at least by a foot! But it goes with the guidelines that it’s long enough to tie and it’s comfy. I used Red Heart Super Saver in Navy. Coming soon…pictures!
I saw some progress on Susan’s scarf on her blog over here:
Knitfix’s red scarf.
And it was three times as long at SnB tonight.
Meanwhile, I’ve finished one part of mine and it’s time to go back and pick up the provisional stitches to knit the neck ribbing.
In other news, I haven’t had a chance to listen in yet, but I received an email from the Unwound people and it looks like the Red Scarf Project has been featured. I was told there was a mention of the KAL, so I’ll have a listen tomorrow. Go on over and have a listen yourself, and tell me what you think!
Hi. I’ve been friends with Heather since our first year in college, which is how I heard about this knitalong. I’ve been knitting since I was about 8 years old, off and on. As I wrote in an earlier comment, the first scarf I am knitting is dedicated to the memory of my mom. She passed away in February, which still seems too recent. Her favorite color was red, and I know she would have liked this scarf. I like the idea of giving it away to a worthy cause. I know the pattern isn’t exactly “unisex,” but I hope they’ll forgive me.
I managed to slip away from work an hour early, in time to stop at my LYS. I came home with two balls of Classic Elite Wool Bamboo (50% wool, 50% bamboo). I cast on last night and have a few inches so far. The yarn is so soft, and on my bamboo needles, it’s like buttah on buttah. I have 36″ to go of the “wavy eyelet” that doesn’t show up quite well in the photo. This is definitely going to be a soothing project to work on.
It took me about 7 attempts and a lot of tweaking in photoshop to get the color in the photo to be red.
Happy knitting to everyone!
I started a red scarf the other night and I finished the first ball of yarn and went to switch to another but one problem…it was a darker shade of red! (The horror!) So, while I have to wait to venture into my mess of a bedroom looking for the right color of red yarn I started on a navy one (following the guidelines that it can be a unisex color). I’m starting to like the way this one looks in the k2, p2 ribbing. I might need to find something else for the red.
Cable Embrace is finished and blocked and ready to go in January. This was a lovely knit. The pattern held my attention throughout, and the Knitpicks Superwash I used for the scarf (brick red) knits up like a dream. I did a total immersion blocking with a touch of vinegar in the water to set the color. Now it’s as soft as warm butter. My next scarf, Irish Hiking, is already on the needles. I’m using Lamb’s Pride Worsted for this one. So far, so good. Hope everyone is enjoying knitting for this worthwhile project as much as I am. A picture of my scarf is in the uploads section.
