Scarves with a Purpose
Sharron Hatelt on Quadra Island has been working on a project this year called W.A.R.P., Weavers in Action Revival Project.
Some aspects of the project will be free handwoven scarves and blankets based on self-assessed need, blankets and shawls for auction at community fundraisers, as well as public weaving to encourage and enlighten folks about this wonderful craft.

In total
we raised over $2,000 for charity, and passed out 87 scarves, 18 baby sweaters, and two dozen other knitted items.
Wow – that is so great. Not only that but they were at the market doing much of the weaving showing people what it was all about.
Congratulations!
and Happy Weaving,
Terri
