The Bejeweled Scarf Knitalong and donating to an excellent cause

So I signed up for Lolly's Bejeweled Knitalong today, I've been meaning to sign up since the day I purchased the pattern. Finally I stopped procrastinating enough to comment on Lolly's blog. If you are interested click on the Bejeweled Knitalong button and read Lolly's entry.

Just a little background on this pattern, the designer is Lisa Shobbana Mason (author of the book Yarnplay). she wears this awesome scarf in her author picture and is selling the pattern that is only available through her via PDF. The best part is Ms. Mason is donating $1.75/$2.25 cost to the Mongolia Project at F.I.R.E and Anichini will be matching the donation amount!! This non-profit organization transfers the warm winter goods (sweaters, scarves, mitts and other stuff items) donated via the Dulann project as well as medical and educational supplies as well as medical training to the people of Mongolia. Since the Russians left from their occupation of Mongolia, these people are trying to survive on very little in an extremely cold environment and this is a great way to help them. So take part in the knitalong by purchasing a pattern from Ms. Mason at her website. Even if you don't want to participate in the knitalong, please if you haven't already purchase the Bejeweled pattern, it's for a good cause as well as a lovely scarf to knit up even for those new to lace, like me!!
