You may recall just a couple of posts back

that I had started to create some dyed wool for a wrap

for the "Pink Scarf Project" which Vicki

so very generously set up for people to create a pink scarf or wrap

choosing any medium they desired whether is was

knitted, crocheted or sewn and this item

would be donated to women with breast cancer.

 I just love to spin and knit or crochet and saw this

as a wonderful opportunity to contribute something

useful and creative.  So I went ahead with some

of my hand spun mohair (from our own Angora goats),

dyed it to achieve a soft shade of washed out pink.

I approached LaShell of

www.etsy.com/shop/designtalentedone

(where I had previously purchased recycled sari silk ribbon)

who very generously donated this beautiful  sari silk

as a way of contributing to this amazing project also

for my project which I dyed with the same dye

to blend with the hand spun mohair

and 

Wow! I was really delighted to achieve,

what I thought was, a perfect match!

Well you all know me quite well by now to guess that I

wouldn't be able to help myself if

I didn't include some lace or doilies 

So I also dyed some of these as well

and embellished it with a hand fashioned rose

which I also dyed to blend in with the pinks.

It pleases me greatly to know that there is some

very beautiful woman out there who may receive

some comfort and heartfelt warmth as she

travels this difficult journey

all thanks to Vicki

in setting up

this very inspirational project

So if you are interested in pursuing this project and would

like to support Vicki then

I suggest you pop over to her blog and view 

some of the scarves that have already been

so kindly donated.
