Two scarves coming from here. And if we get more than ten pledged, we can make up a parcel for another refuge.

More than 10? There are now 30 scarves pledged.

I'm speechless.

Do they all have to be home made? I've got a shop bought woolly scarf and glove set which was given to me just after a friend had already knitted me a set. Shall I send it? Gx

A Grenwich parcel arrived today, thank you so much.

I know there are plenty of refuges that provide an excellent servise and escape route, my mum used to be on the commitee of our local one, and would never take from their cause but if you struggle to find enough addresses for them, you could always distribute extra scarves to the homeless in the area.

My address can be found Here. Or I can PM if anyone prefers that. Mrs F and Gingkotree - I'll PM you. HelenM - the fairly fluid deadline is beginning of December and I'll find Refuge homes for all the scarves I can get - so far I have promises or actual scarves for 50 women in 6 refuges across the country - there are loads more!

It's fast approaching the end of November and I'm starting to think about getting the final scarf numbers finalised, and then getting them wrapped and sent out. Are there any more to come from here? Just checking....
