From Leon Seidman:Yesterday we delivered well over 100 scarves to cancer patients at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. The scarves were beautiful and the patients, nurses and administratoors were so appreciative. As you know, it is such a moving experience.Often the patients even request favorite colors and we are always able to find something they like. The nurses and administrators tell us that

Love Scarf Project 2011 was huge success at the City of Hope, when a team of 6 delivered scarves to two floors of patients on Valentine's Day. As Carrie Lundell said "The smiles, the smiles, so many smiles..." It was true, the smiles that often take a good deal of energy to muster up when you are in their situation, were so big and bright. The thank yous were so loud and clear -- even for the

Again, we delivered about 150 scarves and caps to the oncology area at Columbia Presbyterian at holiday time in December. The patients are so appreciative. But so are the nurses and staff. We have so many that we leave many to be delivered to outpatients throughout the winter and the staff has told me that this is incredibly welcome. They get many emergency cases who come in off the street and

The Love Scarf Project was created in honor of Robbie Seidman, 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 Love Scarf Project and got her friends to knit scarves to be personally delivered to patients at City of Hope during the

From Bridget Fonger, Founder of the Love Scarf Project:The Love Scarf Project at City of Hope was truly heart-warming this year as we delivered a few days before Valentine’s Day to a very appreciative group of patients in the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit.Scarves had been sent in from all over the country.

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!

The original Love Scarf Project was started for the patients at City of Hope in Southern California as a tribute to Robbie Seidman. People from around the country have worked to make it a huge success! Next year, we would love to see the Project taken to a whole new level. Instead of sending a scarf across the country, think about starting a Love Scarf Project in your own neck of the woods!

These two scarves were done using this free pattern. The crocheter of the red one added a few more stitches to the edge to make it a ruffle. I love the way these turned out.We are at 15 scarves (and 2 caps) with just over a month to go. I hope there are a lot of scarves and caps in the works out there because we have a ways to go!

I have been without my digital camera for the last few weeks, so I have been unable to post pictures of all the new scarves that have been coming in, but let me just tell you, they're BEAUTIFUL!!!! Keep up the good work. We will be collecting until December 7th, so there is still plenty of time.I will post pictures as soon as Canon sends my camera back good as new.

These two are from Karen. They are both crocheted from super soft yarn (sorry don't know the brand). The light green scarf was made using all double crochets. The darken green scarfwas made by alternating rows of single and double crochets.Thanks Karen!

The Love Scarf Project collects handmade scarves and caps to be distributed to men and women living with cancer at New York Presbyterian Hospital, City of Hope, and the Huntsman Cancer Institute."When my friend Robbie Seidman was being treated for leukemia at the City of Hope, he had visitors 24/7.

1) Use soft yarns: cotton, baby yarn, microfiber, silk and cashmere are good choices. 2) Thinner, seamless (crochet or knit in the round), non-lumpy caps make for better sleeping and increased comfort on the recipients heads. 3) If yarn used has any wool content, please attach a note.4) Most patients will prefer solid caps and hats as opposed to a shell stitch or a V-stitch or a granny-square
