grace, No I don't use any particular pattern. I also crotchet. When I do I just use a double crotchet. You can adapt just about any scarf pattern, but I usually just knit on both sides.It is better if the scarf doesn't have too many open areas, so things don't get caught on it. Also, It makes the scarf warmer, I think. As for the afgans, I use whatever pattern I think goes well with the yarn I'm using. Have fun.

grace, the scarves that I'm doing can't be too bulky because the guys wear them with or under part of their uniform. I use regular worsted weight or sport yarn. They must be no wider than 8 inches and no longer than 60 inches but can be shorter. Also, no fringe or any kind. It could get caught in equipment. They need to be in desert camo or a beige color. Something that will blend in with their uniforms.

While we are waiting to hear from Terri, I have a small project that some of you might be interested in. I'm starting to make scarfs for this winter. They will be knitted, crotcheted or made from fleece. If anyone is interested please contact me. I'll be sending them off this fall and winter so there is a lot of time. There are specific requirements because they are for military personnel.

Melanie, We haven't heard from Terri since June 29th. So I don't know exactly what is going on. If you add me as a friend I have several easy projects I can send you.
I keep trying to find out what is going on with the afgans for the Mason and if we have given up on the sub. As far as I can tell the last ship or boat was chosen back in Feb, Does anyone out there know anything? Perhaps Terri's son's ship has gotten back from deployment. I just don't want to send anything to her if she isn't there to get the package???

I now live in a small space, so I can't keep too many things around. I have finished reading the Blossom Street books, A Good Yarn and The Shoppe on Blossom street. Those are the ones we talk about a while back. I also have a Vogue Knitting Mag with mitten patterns. If anyone is interested, just let me know and I'll ship them to you.

Gayle, You have the cutest dogs. My son left his cat with us when he left for the Navy. I always told people she was my foster cat. Sure enough, as soon as he could move off base, he came home and took his cat back with him to Norfolk.

Hi Terri, I'm back from Norfolk and working hard on my afgan. I've totally lost track of which ship we are working on. When are you picking the next ship?

I should have a couple of blankets to ship to you sometime next week.
