They continue to add to the scarf as sections arrive – I’m sure your section would be appreciated! You can mail it to Kay Bess, Visit Southern WV, 1406 Harper Rd, Beckley, WV 25801

I have a 6 foot section completed. Do you still want it. I thought this was a great opportunity to support “the” cause. Let me know, please.

Hi Melanie – this is the second year that the Scarf has adorned Tamarack for Breast Cancer Awareness month and I’m sure the plan is to continue to grow the scarf and display it again in October of 2012. The scarf has also been displayed in Crossroads Mall and at other cancer awareness events. This project started for a local woman who fought this battle has turned into an show of inspiration for everyone.

I saw the scarf at Tamarack. What an amazing tribute. I was wondering what will happen to the scarves? Any thought to donate them?

I just rec’d a note from a lady in Ill. who’s formerly from Marietta OH who read about the scarf in the Marietta Times. Jenny Lusk has some scarf pieces. Kay has about 6 ft. from our b.c.survivor friend Liz’s mom, so we’re narrowing the gap toward 3000 ft by year-end. Cheryl Brown at purplebutterflycrochet.blogspot.com sent us some of her terrific work, and will be writing about the scarf at her blog. We’ve already got a commitment for displaying it during May 2011 for Mothers Day month at the Crossroads Mall. And Tamarack is committed to Oct. 2011. We can set up smaller displays wherever requested, but the whole pink enchilada requires a rather larger space these days. And, that, my friends, is excellent. We didn’t start talking about this until last Feb. so it’s less than a year old and surpassing our wildest dreams. I saw yesterday in the Charleston paper where a woman had paid tribute to her b.c. survivor mom by decorating outdoors for Xmas in pink lights. I was beautiful and touching. As Kay said to Angie, bless all of you for your prayers and your handiwork. It’s no wonder to me what women can achieve when they put their minds, their hearts and their hands into a project. Merry Christmas to all our Terri Tribute friends!

Thank you Angie for knitting a section of the scarf and for posting the directions to other links as well. I can tell you that last week I received 11 packages of scarf in my mailbox which means many people are being touched and moved to keep the scarf growing. Bless you for your prayers and help.

I just wanted to say how uplifting it has been to knit a section for this scarf. I just finished this morning due to some of my own medical issues. I’ve recruited one friend to do a section and just officially posted a picture and details on Ravelry, a knit and crochet site with 1 million members. I couldn’t find any other links to it on there but pray that I may have started another wave and that more folks will become involved in this. It is a powerful tool for prayer and grateful meditation on those you love who have survived, are fighting or are in God’s arms. I pray that it will touch many others as it grows.

Mary Sue, the pink scarf continues to grow and I feel more good things will continue to come of it as Terri predicted. We do not know what those are right now, but God does and he will share them with us all in good time. Love ya,

It will be a year the 29th of this month when Terri left us to be with God. It has been hard and yet I try not to question, but sometimes it is impossiable not to. I trust in God and I know he has gotten me thru the worst time of my life, and is still by my side holding my hand every step I take. I have found comfort and love in the Pink Scarf ,and I Pray that all who has joined in has also in some way. I hope and pray they have started a step toward healing for it helps to know you are not alone we are with you in all you do, in all you pray ,and in all you feel. God Bless everyone who has poured so very much into this story, it is also about you as well as my Daughter and she would be the first to tell you so. Love and Prayers Mary Sue

That is so awesome to hear how everyone is pulling together. I read too that there will be a 50/50 at this years Bridge Day to honor Terri’s Tribute with half the funds going to the Susan G Komen Foundation. Exciting to hear that the scarf is now 2000 ft and still growing.
