So here are some highlights of the travels and progress of Project Scarf since last we met…
I have been visiting my Dad in Harpswell, Maine for a few days, and as you can see, Project Scarf came right along!
Some excerpts from Project Scarf’s Journal:
Day 12
June 28, 2011
Project Scarf hits the road for Harpswell, Maine to visit Betsy’s Dad, Lin Rodman, with Phoenix and Beauty along for company. Today the scarf is 11’8″ long (up 6.5″ from yesterday.)
Day 13
June 29, 2011
Betsy and Peter’s 20th (gulp!) wedding anniversary…a rainy morning followed by beautiful sunshine…P.S. leads an anniversary parade to the ocean:
P.S. takes the stairs to the beach
Project Scarf watches Phoenix swim
Betsy comes up with the idea to label the scarf length as she goes (thus avoiding having to measure the entire length each day, which at some point will become quite a project in itself), but also realizes that there will be a stretch factor over time. I also came up with the brilliant idea to mark where I start in the morning so I only have to measure that day’s progress (duh.)
Day’s progress: scarf is now 14’9″ (up 37″ from yesterday.)
Day 14
June 30, 2011
Got together with my oldest childhood friend Kate Greeley today, who blessed Project Scarf with a row. Thanks Kate! After that we went strawberry picking – P.S. stayed at home…
Betsy oldest friend adds a row to Project Scarf in Bowdoinham, Maine.
By the end of the day, P.S. is 15’11” long.

Don’t forget to check our updated Wall of Fame, Where in the World, and How Long? pages!
Are you interested in sending it to NC? I don’t know how open you are to strangers working on it! I have lot of yarn and a ravelry account so you could see my work!
Hi Melissa – people can send sections of scarf to me…you can get all the details from the website. I am also hoping some day to travel with the scarf if anyone wants to host me as a guest artist! I am very flexible in working out arrangements…thanks for your interest!
