About Me:
Did you know I recently crocheted one of the world's longest scarfs? My black and white beauty weighs 75 pounds and stretches over 500 feet! My dream is to find a public space, like a museum or airport, to display it and inspire others (In chess, crochet, and more!).
Another option I'm considering is partnering with a non-profit to auction my extra-long scarf. If it sells for $300,000, I'd be thrilled to donate 10% of the proceeds – that's a minimum of $30,000 – to support their work.
Think you can help? Contact me!
See you on the virtual chessboard!
