Her Grandmother Jan taught her to knit specially for this project.
These scarves were knitted in memory
of Ava's Grandmother Janette
who passed away from Breast Cancer.
This special note written by Ava -
truly moved me to tears.
"Out of the mouths of babes" --
this is the true essence of the Pink Scarf Project.
(Last summer Ava and one of her friends hosted a lemonade stand
and donated their profits of $32 to cancer research.)
Big hugs to you Ava!!! xoxo

The scarves are stunning! What a great collection. Last weekend I spend Saturday scrapping at a fund raiser for my niece's college dance team. There were some lovely ladies there with knitting needles instead of paper! What a delight to see the projects they worked, grow! I won a door prize from a vender with a variety of items displayed, including beautiful hand painted scarves. I told her about your project in hopes she would be able to send something your way. Oh yeah, the prize I won was, wait for it...a PINK Silk scarf! It will be headed your way soon!
Oh Vicki... I am so overcome by emotion... thank you for sharing my little scarf I stitched in memory of my beautiful sister Jo who lost her battle to breast cancer after a most courageous fight to the end... my love and prayers go out to all who, like me, have lost a loved one to this terrible disease... and my love, hopes and prayers go out to all who are currently battling breast cancer... my sweet sister never gave up fighting... I hope these ladies do not give up either... I know my sister is watching over all of them and sending them some of her own courage and strength... and to the survivors... love and prayers and kisses to you all... I wish I could just hug every one of you!... and to you dear Vicki... you are an angel here on earth... thank you so much for your Pink Scarf Project... as you know, it was a difficult one for me... but I am so happy to say "I did it"!... I love you, xoxo Julie Marie
Ohhhhhhhhh - I knew you'd get a wonderful response for your call for scarves, but this is absolutely overwhelming...each and every one is so beautiful, and I know each one of those packages you are receiving is filled not only with a beautiful scarf, but SO much love! Thank you for spearheading this - XOXO Tanya
They are all so beautiful visually, but more so in the spirit in which they are given...that note from little Ava, has really tugged at my heart this morning. You are such a kind soul, and you inspire me! xo
Oh Vicki, I also wanted to say how beautiful ALL of the scarves are and the ladies who made them... precious little Ava touched my heart so... what a blessing she is to all of us... and I love that she raised money herself to donate to the cancer society... okay... more tears now... but these are happy ones... xoxo Julie Marie
they are all so beautiful what a wonderful project
Oh my word. One "ooh!" after another, and honestly, I am now in tears. Bless you, Vicki, and everyone whose love and caring is woven into the stitches of these truly beautiful offerings. An inspiration!
Such a beautiful project! Congratulations to all of the wonderful folks who made these lovely items. Others will smile because these ladies cared. :)
Vicki, they are all so very lovely! Just like you for taking the time to do something so wonderful:-) Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Terri
Hi Vicki!

What a wonderful project. All the scarves are so pretty and your photos of them are beautiful! You mentioned that this is a year long project. Does that mean it's not too late to join in? I'd love to participate if it's not too late.
Dear sweet Vicki,
you bring out the best in all of us! Thank you. All the scarves are all so beautiful.
hugs

Such a beautiful post, full of love and stitchin'. Many hands and many prayers are making up those scarves. Such a worthwhile project!
Deb
How beautifully you photographed each precious contribution!
Dear Vicki
What an inspiration you are to all women who come in contact with you.
There is so much love and hope on this page - each and every scarf has been knitted, crocheted and weaved into a message of love and support. They are all beautiful.
When the weather cools off in New Zealand my needles will be clicking too!
Please pop over to me blog where I have written you a letter of grateful thanks!
hugs

The scarves are gorgeous on their own but your photography is amazing. Each little stitch and donation is an offering of prayer for those who are fighting cancer. Thanks for all that you do to give back. Blessings, Tammy
The scarves are beautiful Vicki! I have 28 total so far and I will post stories and pics this weekend. I had to post my winners from your blog party..thanks for doing that too! These scarves and the stories are so touching and so full of love. I can't wait to go with Donna to give the ones we collect to the lovely ladies in October. I really wish there would be nobody to give them too..that would mean a cure for this disease had been found and no more tears, only joy. I hope one day that will be reality. Until then, warmth and love wrapped in a pink scarf will have to do. Thanks again Vicki!
Beautiful, beautiful scarves dear Vicki, what an awesome project and how wonderful the response. Amazing women giving and sharing. Since I work with hospice, your project touches my heart deeply and I am grateful to know you and for all you do my friend, my kindred spirit! Hugs... Carole xox
Hello Vicki,
All the scarfs are soooooo very very lovely and all in their beautiful shades of Pink... I am sure they will be loved by who ever received them. Thanks for sharing all these wonderful photos of the Pink scarfs with us all. Hugs Judy
Thank you for sharing these beautiful scarves and inspiring dedications. It is so moving to see the shear love that is pouring in for this project. Looking forward to getting mine on the way to you too. Your photography is just breathtaking Vicki! xoxo
The scarves are breathtaking! I've finished knitting my shawlett scarf and must block it before mailing.
The scarves are all so lovely and your photography is making them look even nicer.

Vicki,
Sweet! I write with teary eyes...The scarves are all so unique and lovely. Thank you for sharing the pink hitchhiker I made up for this project in your post. I feel so honored! I love how you photographed each one in the collection. I've started following the Pinterest board to keep up with all the donations...Amazing!
Hugs to you dear Vicki...
Vicki you must be thrilled with the response you've gotten. The scarves are all beautiful and your photography so wonderfully highlights each one. What in inspiration you are to put this project together. Blessings.
Vicki - so absolutely amazing; such love and beauty. You have worked harder than anyone I know - many many of God's choicest blessing to all who participate, receive, and especially to you and your "helpers" for making this happen. This cause is so near and dear to my heart. Hugs and love. Karen
Such beautiful scarves - I am really impressed. This is so inspiring. And it reminds me that I promised you to send my scarf - it's nothing special, I'm a very basic knitter. But if it can give a little support and comfort to a woman who battles cancer it is so worth it.
My Dear friend Vicki,
I am overcome and amazed (though I shouldn't be really!!!) at the amount of love, dedication and effort you have poured into this Pink Scarf Project. I am so proud to be part of such an act of kindness knowing personally just a little of the pain these admirable women experience in dealing with this situation and it warms my heart just a little in knowing that I have contributed in some very small way to your awesome and selfless project.
Sending much love and much appreciation for just being you!
Love you dear Vicki,
Suzy
I am just stunned by the incredible response you had to the Pink Scarf project. They are truly beautiful. I am working on my second one. I want to make three, and when they are all done, I'll mail them to you. You are an amazing woman and I so wish I could give you a huge hug in person.
Such beautiful and lovely scarves!! So many different textures....I am impressed and inspired.
Such a worthy cause too.
These are all so beautiful. I tell everyone about this project. It is exciting to see each new gift made with love. Thxs Vicki

What beautiful scarves!
What a beautiful project!
What beautiful women who knitted the scarves that are going to such beautiful people who have been touched by cancer!
You are an energetic and awesome person! Thanks for all the sharing! This scarf collection is unbelievably beautiful! I saw some of the posts from your Grow Your Blog party. What a terrific time you all had! Have a greta weekend! Thank you!
Vicki, Your generosity is overwhelming. I completely missed this post. I am out to get you a scarf. The note from Ava was quiet touching. All the ladies that have participated have made some lovely scarves that are sure to bring a smile to a women's face.
Your pink scarf collection is amazing and so beautifully presented, the stories are so touching:))
Blessings for the coming week.
A beautiful and and touching presentation! Thank You. Yes I'm looking forward to more nests! Marlynne from preciouscottage.blogspot.com & mcreatesdaily.blogspot.com
The pink scarves are fantastic. I'm just getting ready to make a pink scarf for your project. I love the variety of scarves from the ruffles to the hugely difficult patterns. I'm hoping to learn a new pattern stitch since I usually only do knits and purls. I want to push myself for this wonderful opportunity to give to a woman challenged with breast cancer. Thank you for organizing this project.

Meine liebe Vicki,
was hast du schon für wundervolle Schals erhalten. Eine Idee wird geboren und wie ein einzelner Schneekristall der zu Boden fällt und nur den richtigen Anstoß bekommt, wächst er zu einem großen, mächtigen Schneeball heran. Ein unscheinbarer Samenkorn wird in den Boden gebracht und daraus treibt eine schöne, große Pflanze. Wir alle sind Teile dieses Schneeballs, Teile dieser Pflanze. Solange es solche Menschen gibt, ist die Welt noch nicht verloren. Unser großer deutscher Dichter Goethe sagte einmal flapsig:"Es gibt nichts Gutes, außer man tut es!"Recht hat er und ich freue mich ein Teil dieses großen Ganzes zu sein. Mein "Schneekristall" wird am Ende der Woche fertig sein, es sieht viel versprechend aus und ich freue mich darauf, einem Menschen irgendwo, fern von hier, damit ein Stück Mut, Hoffnung und Zuversicht zu schenken, einfach so, von Mensch zu Mensch.
Alles Liebe Babsi
Vicki, you and these ladies have done an awesome thing!!! Beautiful scarves, each and every one! With wonderful love in every stitch. Amazing! blessings ~ tanna
Most of us know someone with or who has had breast cancer. This is such a wonderful project with so many beautiful scarves!!!
Hola! qué hermosura de bufandas. Aquí estamos con 30 grados C°, así que no apetece usarlas, pero para el invierno me las pondría todas juntas, jajaja. Soy muy friolenta.
Besitos.
Such an amazing collection of pink scarves, I am thrilled to be included in this latest batch.
I can see I'm not the only one to have discovered Sashay yarn.
You have photographed each and everyone so beautifully, your eye for detail and amazing sense of style takes my breath away.
Thank you darling girl for creating this wonderful project which is bringing as much joy to the knitters as it will do to the courageous women we have made them for.
What a lovely post! The scarves and sentiments are beautiful, and so are your artistic photos. :)
These scarves are all so very lovely. I have one scarf finished and I am working on another one to send in at the same time.
This has been such an inspirational project to be a participant in.

Thank you sweet Vicki for stopping by my blog. I do love the vintages laces too...they are divine! Oh! My! That story about Ava and her grandma who passed away from breast cancer was so moving and so special for Ava to crochet a scarf!...and for Ava and her friends to donate money from their lemonade stand was so sweet and generous! What sweet souls children are! Bless those sweet children.
I do have your address already for when I mail you the scarves. The winter cold 'bug' hit me right after the holidays so I am slow to finish the second one. But it is a joy to contribute to such a project.
hugs,

Dear Vicki.. What gorgeous scarfs..and there could not be a better way to show Women with Breast Cancer that everyone is praying for them.. This is so special for me knitting scarfs in Loving Memory of my sweet Fonda she is missed every day .Again thank you so much for doing this for these special Ladies.
All I can say is WOW~WOW and WOW!!! These are just beautiful and what a wonderful project!!! I surely wish I knew how to knit/ands or crochet...something I might have to give some thought to, in taking a class when the weather inproves...thanks for sharing these beautiful "pieces of art"...and a HUGE thank you to the women and children that have made them...I don't think any of us haven't been touched by this terrible disease at some point, I know I have!!
Thank you for this--what beautiful scarves-I just read your original post for the scarf project and, as I love to knit but only know how to make scarves, this is right up my alley! I will get busy making a scarf to donate . . .
Amazin, beautiful, warmhearted women, whom all made such lovely gifts of love and care.
