I just found out that Maine will need scarves ( headbands, mittens and hats) for their Special Olympics next year.
I wish the other New England states were involved in the scarf project as well but is Maine is part of NE so to my yarn stash I go. I hope you will send in a few items to help out. Message me on facebook if you have any questions.
Below is the info I found on Knit and Crochet for a Cause's fb page.
