We've been doing a lot of them with 2-3 strands of sport weight (or a sport and a textured yarn) on larger needles (US10-15), and has been working well to make things with a lot of depth and visual texture. These are going on little urchin children and the wretched poor, but since they're going to charity I don't want to distress them. The visual texture helps to keep them from looking flat and new. We're also happily collecting things that are destined to skip stage use and go straight to charity. Those can be in any color. Oliver! is running from November 20th through December 13th. We're collecting things through the end of the show, and I don't mind cycling in new scarves should they arrive while we're still running! :) Hey, Fabulous! :) For scarves that are going to be used on stage before they go to Snug Hugs, I’m looking for neutrals, autumn colors, toned-down rich colors, or heathery-tweedy looking combos.

When do you need the scarves by, and what colors, type of yarn? I know several knitters who might be interested. So glad you are back! The Chick and I missed you! Hey there!

I just upgraded my wordpress installation and reverted to Ye Olde Standard theme (literally - wordpress default). I'm hoping that will fix a random slew of problems people have mentioned. It's about as sexy as a toaster, but it'll do just fine for now. Oh, bother. I just upgraded my wordpress installation and reverted to Ye Olde Standard theme (literally – wordpress default).

Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your site, I found it a few months ago and it led me into a wonderful world of Elizabethan Stuffs On The Internets (that is the technical name of course). A quick note, ever since you switched layouts, I haven't been able to access your site in firefox. For some reason everything is completely wonky--I tried it out tonight in Safari and it works perfectly. Hello!
