The Knitting Women

We are the knitting women, weaving swift

Our webs of olive drab and navy gray

We are the women, keeping thought away

By this new work of love, this eager gift

Through which our men, facing bitter flight

Under the stars of foreign lands,

Shall know that still a million women's hands

Uphold them in the darkness and the night.

-Kathleen Norris

Knitting scarves for soldiers! That's it m'girls! Fighting terrorism one scarf at at time! ;D

Yeah, I'm weird. :D

Here is where you can read a little more. There are oodles and doodles of organizations you can do things like this through. This one is called Operation Gratitude. Their goal is one scarf for every care package to our service people for Christmas this year (only six months away...). That's about 60,000 scarves. If you can knit, I strongly encourage you to take up your needles for the cause. It does make a difference.

Yes we can! -wink- :P
