I remember Cindy

As one from the Old Board. I just wanted to remember Cindy.

And I'm making a scarf to pass on in her honor.

**I remember**

I was just thinking about her recently too, when a friend gave me a hand-knit scarf for my birthday.

Yes, of cancer some years ago.  Several of us, myself included, made scarves for the cold and destitute in her memory - the idea came from a dream Scritzy had.  OmniCindy was a really nice, gentle lady - a regular poster who was kind, polite, strong and a real class act.

The Cindy Project folder is still on the forum.

I've never knitted anything I could recognize when it was finished.  Actually, I've never finished anything, much to my family's relief.

I remember Cindy (and I drove through Slidell with VorGuy on our way to & from Thanksgiving in Florida last month.

The embarressing thing is that I found my needles, yarn, and a partial scarf back in the sewing room.  I moved four states west a few months after Katrina and things got unpacked & put in places where they were out of sight & out of mind - while I dealt with catching up with the rest of the house (guys moved a year earlier) and Rita did some minor damage to our fence & new house.

I found them earlier this fall while looking for something else...

I want to work out how to use my "new" Incredible Sweater Machine by making several scarves - because hand knitting is still not on the agenda (until my wrists get a bit better).  Besides - anything that I can get from start to finish faster has to be more fun!

I didn't join in with Scritzy's Scarf idea. cost too much to post overseas from here.  We did donate homemeade scarves to Vinnies for the needy.

Cindy was Truly a Classy Woman. I wish I had half of her Grace and Love.

She was a true class act. I sent her a care package shortly after Katrina-just some basic supplies and a few other things thrown in. Despite losing her home, being incredibly ill with cancer and not sure of her next move, she sent a lovely hand written thank you note. Totally not necessary given the extreme circumstances at the moment, but she did it none the less.

I used to lurk on the D-board, and trailed over when the board shifted, so I never interacted with Cindy, but I remember when Scritzy started the project.

It makes my heart feel good that an internet forum reached out to help others in honor of a poster.

I just thought of her last week.  A friend posted her own handmade scarves and it brought back some really lovely memories of Cindy.  Are any of the threads she posted in archived anywhere?  She seemed like such a sweet, wonderful person.
