I’m Almost Ready and Knit Your Itty Bit

Well, I have the scarf knitted and binded off and have woven in the dangling yarn from my color switches.  But I want to add fringe.  Personally, I am in the middle of the move and I keep forgetting my yarn at one house, etc.  We’ve all moved, you know how it goes!  But I hope to get the scarf photographed and the pattern posted on the website in a mere matter of days.

This year we’re also going to offer a Knit Your Itty Bit part to our project. People can knit/crochet squares with any yarn and any pattern that they want, it just needs to measure 8x8. To launch the website, I need squares to show off.  Would yall be interested in knitting/crocheting an 8”x8” square so I can post it on the internet?  So if you would all just knit up some squares and email photos to lauren.handley@nationalww2museum.org, or send the squares in, they’ll be photographed and later sewn into the first blanket. Plus, you can use absolutely any yarn that you want. So look at it as a way to thin out your stash!

Hello,
I can crochet so doing the scarf will not be a problem but I prefer to knit. I can not master the circular needles - always getting tangled. Is there any way I can do the knit pattern with conventional needles? Or, rather, is there a big reason why one can not use conventional needles?

Thank you!

As I've been crocheting more scarves--a version of the one displayed--you are all in my prayers. May God bless you as you safely return after this storm.

I mailed a "V for Victory" scarf to you this afternoon. I hope my offering is helpful.

Hi Lauren,
I love the 2008 pattern.
14 more rows and my first scarf will be finished. Last year's pattern took me a month to finish!
Being on vacation this week may have helped, too:)

Oh my gosh! I finished one scarf and an itty bitty square.
With your crazy weather down there, I will hold off sending.
Do you have a target date for distribution of the scarves?
