How's your heart?

National HeartScarves Project from Red Heart and Women Heart

Today, I began this wonderful charity project from Red Heart Yarns and WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease.  They have joined together to create the HeartScarves Project Knit Kit or Crochet Kit. 

Each kit has yarn, needles, free pattern, instructions on where to send your scarf as well as healthy heart tips, all in a handy clear plastic tote.

These kits have everything you need to get started, plus information on how and where to send your scarf to someone who is just waiting to feel the love from you. Your scarf/scarves will be sent to a member of WomenHeart Support Networks.  The women receiving scarves are undergoing cardiac procedures and would cherish a scarf from you.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and what better way to show and share love?  I hope you'll join in and send comfort, support, and encouragement by knitting or crocheting a scarf.

X's and O's in advance.
