Handmade scarves donated as a result of the 2011 Special Olympics USA Scarf Project will be a symbol of unity, support, compassion and empowerment, as the Special Olympics athletes, coaches, families, volunteers and supporters wear them with pride in knowing they have become part of the Special Olympics family.
Yesterday, December 3rd, one of my scarfs was featured on the Fan page on FaceBook! I am amazed! This was my first attempt on doing Tunisian 2 color crochet. You can find the post here or you can just go to their fan page on FaceBook here
