Ok, here are the basics. We are asking for handmade blankets/afghans that are twin bed size or smaller. You can knit, crochet, quilt, or make the hand tied (no sew) fleece blankets. (We are open to any other methods as well.) Any pattern or color, that is up to your creativity. Just be sure they are tasteful and appropriate. When you are finished, you can send them to:

Knit for the Navy
PO Box 539
Madras, OR 97741

After I receive the blanket/afghan, they will be collected and distributed to the ship of the month. Look for pictures of the finished blankets/afghans posted here. Any questions or suggestions can be sent to me or posted on our message board here. Thank you all for your help.

Hi Paul's mom No I am not doing the KAL, but have been making prayer shawls for Christmas gifts with Lion Brand Homespun yarn. The one I'm making now works up fairly easily with garter stitch all the way, then gets fringes. Good luck w/ the KAL!

Hey Grace...How is your afghan going? I am assuming that you are doing the Bernat KAL too. I hope to be totally caught up this weekend. That is if I can stay out of the duck blind...lol. My significant other is an AVID...(dare I say obessed) bird hunter and it is waterfowl season here. I can't hit the broadside of a barn but get to tag along as dog control and cheerleader/audience on most of the adventures. That seriously cuts into my knitting time. Thank God for standard daylight time and it gets dark so early. LOL. We have a friend whoes son is interested in learning about bird hunting so I can duck (hahaaa...yes I went there) out of going and let the guys go. Somehow or another I will get caught up this weekend. I have another awesome excuse not to go...PAUL COMES HOME TO VISIT!!!! I am so excited. I haven't gotten to see him for a year. I can't wait. I have ALOT to be thankful for this year. :)

I just sent out 2 afghans today so you should have them in a few days. I also have all the squares done for 2 other afghans. I hope to get them put together this weekend and sent them out Monday.

Confession time...again...lol! I am SO far behind in the Bernat KAL. After finishing, I thought, the 1st set of blocks, I discovered a big mistake in them and decided to start them over. No problem right? Well, they just released the 3rd clue to the afghan and not only do I need to redo the 1st but aen't finished the 2nd clue blocks. Hahahaa...thank God I can work on this at work and that we have vacation coming up. Maybe I can get caught up before the 4th clue comes out...I think that is optimistic but hey...why not. :) Is there anyone else who is doing this KAL? It's a really fun project. Very portable. I like the way the yarn feels too. The finished afghan is going to be soft and cozy I think.

If any of you are shipping scarfs to me, could you please send them as soon as possible. I will be away the week of Thanksgiving and now I will need to travel the following week. My son's sub is getting back and so I need to mail the scarfs off early. Thanks every one

Hi All. Hey Debbie, I think I can say for all of us that we are praying for a speedy recovery for you. Well after the LONG (5 day long) weekend I can honestly say I that I got absolutely nothing productive done. Well except for I started packing boxes for the Eisenhower. So far I have 23 blankets for the IKE. I am hoping to save some shipping cost and send some of the boxes back to Norfolk with my son when he comes to visit over the Thanksgiving holiday. Yes, paying the extra "baggage" fee for the boxes to fly on the airplane is cheaper than the postage. Plus we have the added guarantee that they will arrive on the ship via one of it's own sailors. Not to bad I thought. I hope my son will agree...lol.
