I Really Should Have Read the Fine Print

I made this for the Red Scarf Project.  (Info on Norma's blog too.)  Sadly I didn't do my homework first.  It turns out they specifically say "No Super Bulky yarn".  Hmmmmm.  I guess this one will go in our scarf bin. 

No.  How 'bout we have a little contest?   The Red Scarf Project is also taking donations of cash.  So if you donate cash or a scarf to the Red Scarf Project, leave me a comment and I'll enter you in a drawing to win this scarf and a little something else that would appeal to knitters.  (You know, yarn, chocolate, etc.)
