[Nfb-krafters-korner] Military Helmet Liner Project

[Blindhands at aol.com]

We are all set for our Summer Project to make Helmet Liners for  our  
military folks.  I have the pattern for this to be knitted or  crocheted.  We 
have a class planned kicking off June 4 for the knitted  version of this hat 
and I will plan a crochet and repeat of the knitted version  after I return 
from Convention in Dallas.  It will be towards the end of  July.
 
I just want to let you know that we have found a organized group that will  
allow us to send the hats directly to our service men.
