I love the red, white and blue of the scarves. As you can see these are "no-frills" scarves as they have no fringe. These are being made for the homeless at the Atlantic City Rescue Mission. 
This is our teacher Cheryl (seated) pulling yarn out of her bag to show Gladys some of the colors available for her project.
These are the experienced ladies who are amazing at whipping up hats and scarves!
I chose blue as the color choice of my first project. I made so many mistakes on this first scarf I'm embarrassed, but the scarf will keep someone very warm this winter! The small "round" in the center is my sample work - I worked on this one all August. Someone said you must always keep the first item you knit - so this is mine.
Here is the finished blue scarf - please don't judge me :)
The burgandy that I'm presently working on...
...and I even surprised myself with how this one turned out!Then, of course, there are the drawing lessons I've been taking which has taken up a surprisingly large amount of time. I'll have a project to show later.

It's a wonderful mission. IMO, your work is twice beautiful because of its intended wearer.
You're doing great! I have tried to knit, but I stink royally. Everything that is supposed to be shaped like a scarf is shaped like a pennant.
Sigh...
I can crochet...
If you want a great big huge never ending granny square.
How lovely! And to knit something to give away to those in need makes it all the more special. I can do a little crocheting, but never learned to knit.
Oh wow they look great. You all did a wonderful job!
Cool! Or should I say "HOT!" LOL
Don't forget, your Dau here likes PINK! Not blue! Although your first couple of projects turned out really nice... no judging here as I do not know how to knit...but I can see a future craft night will be about KNITTING.
Wonderful job, on the scarfs, I too have been wanting to start back to knitting, it has been years since i had knitting needles in my hands. This motivates me, and since the weather is changing and farm work will soon be slower, i now have no excuse! ~smile~
Beautiful! job.

Nice work! I think your scarves look great. I can see it's a good idea to keep the first thing you knitted because then you can see how much you have improved with you subsequent projects.
