Help our wounded soldiers (and clear out some of those bits of yarn you have left!)

Here's an organization that is worth supporting, ladies (and gentlemen)...for the knitters and crocheters out there, use up those bits of yarn and warm the hearts of wounded soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines...

http://www.rectangle6x9.org/

I know some ladies online who have participated in this, and find that it is only a matter of minutes, to really crank out one rectangle. One woman sat with her three daughters, while watching a video, and the four of them turned out 12 rectangles, in an hour and a half. With winter coming, and more "inside" time on our hands, now is a great time to show our servicemen our thanks for their sacrifices...

As the wife, daughter, and grand-daughter of veterans, I whole-heartedly support organizations like this, who get all of us involved. It doesn't take much time or money to get involved, and it is something nearly anyone can do while sitting in the car at ball practice, or in a recliner of an evening while the rain or snows fall outside.

God bless our troops...and their families...
