If you know how to knit or crochet here is a great way to reach out and comfort someone who is currently living with or at risk for heart disease.
The HeartScarves Knit Kit
Red Heart Yarns and WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease have joined forces to create the HeartScarves Project Kit featuring everything you need to knit or crochet a red scarf. HeartScarves provides handmade red scarves to members of WomenHeart Support Networks, and to women undergoing cardiac procedures. The red scarves offer comfort, support, and encouragement for a woman with heart disease and become a part of her healing journey. For every kit purchased, Red Heart will donate $3 to WomenHeart.
Included in this kit:
Clear vinyl project bag with handles
One skein of Red Heart® Super Saver™ yarn in 319 Cherry Red
Susan Bates size US 9 (5.5 mm) knitting needles
Instructions from Red Heart for knitting a scarf
Information as to why knitting and crocheting are good for your own heart health and heart care tips from Women Heart Organization.
Gift tag for your special personalized message of hope and encouragement to the recipient, along with directions on how to mail your finished scarf.
The kits cost $12.99 and are available at www.shopredheart.com.
I know HeartScarves is supposed to be for women, but I am thinking of making one for my Dad. Now all I need is some "manly" red yarn.
