Chicagoland Delivers

I was in town when the Chicagoland Lovescarfers delivered 113 scarves to the Edward Cancer Center. The patients and staff were so pleased with the beautiful donation. Many of the knitters learned how to this year, just for LSP.

Kudos to you!

Chicago's having their cake and eating it too.

Random Acts of Knitting

This year, in an effort to spread the word about Lovescarf Project, and recruit more knitters, I committed myself to approaching anyone I saw knitting, with an invitation to knit for LSP.

I only ran into about 5 knitters all year, and approached them each with my speech and my card. 1 of the 5 came through for me, knitting these scarves!

Thanks so much Toni!

Lovescarfers are knitting away;

Ms. Rose in Chicago.

Ms. Brenchley has been taking a break from scarfing to socking...but she has taught many NEW lovescarfers to knit and recruited a few NYC knitting groups to donate to LSP---we are so grateful to her!

Ms. Glass learned a thing or two from Ms. Brenchley, including button-holes and flowers. Thanks! Now she just needs to pick out a few rows of her recent ribbed creation....she needs to learn that she can't watch tv and knit at the same time.

Ms. Gedde sent three scarves from WI to the NYC LSP yesterday. Thanks Ms. Gedde.

New York Count: 13 and counting...

Keep up the good knitting!

2009 Invitiation to Knit!

LOVESCARF PROJECT 2009

On Thursday, December 17, 2009 the Lovescarf Project will be delivering knit scarves and caps to cancer patients at New York Presbyterian Hospital.

The Lovescarf Project was created in honor of Robbie Seidman, Leon’s brother, who died of leukemia at City of Hope Hospital in 2003. While in the hospital, Robbie had many visitors. However, Robbie’s friend Bridgett noticed that many other patients had few, if any visitors. She created the Lovescarf Project and got her friends to knit scarves to be personally delivered to patients at City of Hope during the Holidays, to let these patients know that they were thought of and loved.

Lovescarf is now in Southern California, New York, Chicago and Utah. Last year we were proud to deliver approximately 165 scarves and caps at New York Presbyterian Hospital, not only to patients staying at the hospital, but also to those getting out-patient treatment. In addition to visiting each patient and giving them this precious gift, carolers followed us singing to further cheer up the patients.

So, if you knit, consider knitting something. You can even form a Knitting Club. Last year the Knitzvah Circle of our temple, Temple Israel of New York, knitted over 40 scarves for us.

We will be sending additional information and reminders soon. For now please start knitting. And for ideas or more information go to www.lovescarf.com.

Thank You

Lisa & Leon Seidman
