Pretty soon it will be Orange Scarf Day in Norway. In all the yarn stores there were bins of orange yarn for knitters to buy and knit up a scarf.
Three fellow Knitting Cruise Members knit orange scarves during our trip. It’s good to think of the scarves keeping someone warm.
“an annual event by The Church City Mission (Kirkens Bymisjon) to emphasize caring and inclusiveness while approaching winter and Christmas season. The scarves are left on the sculptures for those who need in cold winter days.”
You can see photos of the scarves on statues in Oslo at this link
I love the orange scarf project … you should start that tradition in Pittsburgh!
Someone told me today there are poles downtown here to leave scarves for those who need them
I love the scarves on the sculptures! I hope people who need them take them.
I hope so too.
Just wondering why Orange. I personally like orange. It reminds me of sunrise or sunset.
Looks bright and warm in the gray and dark.
Love this project, we need more like this.
I was thinking the same and a friend told me of a place downtown where there are poles to hang scarves for those who need them. Going to check it out.
Nice!
I thought so too
Their choice of orange- perhaps because that shade reminds me of the sun- keeping me warm. This is a smart & helpful project.
Yes it is Connie.
Everybody is carrying them and bobody seems to be wearing them…
The finished scarves will be tied onto statues around the city and those in need help themselves to the handknit scarves.
What a loving and caring idea.
I think so too
Today a friend wrote and said there are poles downtown in our city where you can hang a scarf for someone in need. I’m going to find out.
The paradox of generosity comes to mind. I know that the people who give the scarves without question will receive tenfold for their unselfish acts of kindness.
My grandmother always said bread cast upon the waters is returned to you and it’s frequently buttered
Love that quote, Ruth! So true.
I love this effort!
