Fiber Femmes Helping Others
Operation Purple Heart -
If you knit or crochet a square, please send it/them to Operation Purple
Heart.
According to their website, all squares will be joined together to make an
afghan for military personnel who have been injured in the line of duty.
Please see their website for patterns, instructions and more information.

Helmet Liners for the Troops
There are more than 200,000 men and women serving in the USA military who
are exposed to sub-freezing temperatures and harsh weather. If you're able
to knit a woolen helmet liner or scarf, please do so and mail ASAP.
Approximately 30% of a person's heat is lost through their head so knitting
a helmet liner is the best way to conserve body heat and keep body
temperatures up. Patterns for hand knitted, crochet and machine knitted
helmet liners and a scarf are found at
http://www.geocities.com/helmetliner/ .
