Operation Gratitude Update

Well I have been busy making scarves. I have made my goal. I have now made 10 scarves. There is one brown, one solid charcoal gray, two charcoal gray with white strips, one forest green, one white with forest green stripes, 3 black, one dark country blue with white stripes. I'm hoping that anyone else who would like to make a scarf for out troops overseas will make one scarf. The Create Crochet Team is trying to reach a goal of 50 scarves. The more the merrier.

Check out my Ravelry account for pictures of the individual scarves.

Operation Gratitude

I've finished four scarves for Operation Gratitude. The Create Crochet Team is making 50 scarves for members of the services. The scarves cannot be longer than 50 inches and 5 - 7 inches wide. Any pattern but the colors should be military colors. Here are three of the one I have completed. (I made two with the same pattern and color.) I would like to make a few more. What about you?

If you have questions or would like to join our quest, please let me know at jcbutler0551@comcast.net.

Scarves for the Military

I haven't put anything on this blog for a while but I have been buy crocheting items. At this time, I am planning what colors to use to make scarves for shipping to our military. I have crocheted one very simple one in dark brown and plan to make some black ones. One skein of Red Heart super saver yarn should make 2 nice scarves. So under $5 you can make two scarves for our troops. I just did a simple pattern of double crochet or you can make one with single crochet, ch 1, skip the next st sc. I'm sure that there are groups who would like to send something to our troops. Here is the challenge. Make 5 by August. If you are up to the challenge, let me know and I will give you the contact person's name. What do you say?
