[Nfb-krafters-korner] Military Helmet Liners

[Marianne Denning]

Thank you to everyone.  His surgery went well and he will be in ICU for a 
few days.  My middle son is spending the night with him tonight and I will 
stay with him for the next few nights.  We appreciate all prayers.

>> For the folks here that are new to the list, I would like to tell you
>> what we are doing.  We are doing a service project and making helmet
>> liners to send to our military overseas.
>>
>> I would like all of you to know why we use wool.  People have asked
>> isn't it warm there?  We use wool so our troops  are warm this winter.
>> In addition, wool wicks away moisture and is  non-flammable. The
>> temperatures they endure are below zero in  Iraq, Afghanistan, S.
>> Korea and Kosovo.
>>
>> We will have a telephone conference class on how  to make these hats
>> that have a neck band and an opening for the face starting  this
>> Friday.  It will run for 4 weeks.  You will have homework to  continue
>> on each week so you will be  ready for the next step.  You  will have
>> a finished hat at the end of the last class.  I will also discuss  at
>> the last class some variations that can be done.  I will have the
>> pattern in Braille, but I will not have it in time for Friday's
>> class.
>>
>> This is a knit hat and I do have a crochet  version of the hat, but we
>> do not have a class planned on the crocheted version  as of yet.
>>
>> Now you think I don't knit and I don't crochet,  well you can still be
>> part of this.  You can help purchase the wool yarn  that we are using
>> or help by donating something toward the postage  cost.
>>
>> The yarn is Cascade 100% wool worstered weight  yarn which we can use
>> only certain colors as requested by the  military.
>>
>> So please do plan on taking part in this.   We will be making hats during
>> the summer and in the Fall sending them  out.
>>
>> We have a resource that a few of us have joined  that will give us
>> information on where  our hats are needed
>>
