About the charity:

Our program for the year is to knit more for charities, and the first charity we chose was Operation Gratitude.  The organization puts together care packages for men and women deployed overseas and one of the items they ask for is knit scarves and hats.

For scarves - 4-6inches wide, 48-50 inches long.

Yarns - subtle colored yarn that are soft and machine wash (does not have to be acrylic).  Also approved are red-white-blue.

Pattern choice is up to you, but both pattern and yarn should be gender neutral.

Started something already? Bring it! Haven't started? Bring the yarn and start tonight! Don't want to/don't have time? Bring yarn to share with others who may use it.

See you all Thursday!
