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 (both in chess and crochet!).

Attention chess lovers! There's a change to the usual schedule this month. Instead of our USCF rapid monthly online tournament, get ready to be amazed!
I'll be showcasing a truly massive creation at Maker Faire Bay Area 2024: a **501-foot-long chess scarf!**
If you're anywhere near Vallejo, don't miss this incredible opportunity. This massive chessboard scarf is sure to be a highlight of the Faire. But that's not all! Explore the countless other amazing exhibits showcasing innovation and creativity.
This is your chance to **meet me in person** and discuss chess, the scarf, and all things creative! Let's chat about your love for the game and how this giant scarf might inspire new players. It took me about 4.5 years to crochet the entire scarf. The scarf weighs about 75 pounds. How long is 501 feet? It's longer than a football field!
Don't worry, the popular USCF online tournaments haven't gone anywhere! They pick back up **next month** on the **third Saturday of November**. Mark your calendars for **Saturday, November 16th at 1:00 PM Eastern Time**.
Whether you're at Maker Faire or joining the online tournament next month, I look forward to connecting with you all!
Find out more about the Faire and plan your visit here: https://makerfaire.com/maker/entry/75905/
See you soon!
