These are items that go out into the world to unknown recipients. The Yarn Garden supports charity knitting projects from time to time. One was the Red Scarf Project which I participated in. [See January 23rd entry.] I also joined in knitting helmet liners for our troops in the Middle East. The liners had to meet military color requirements. The military issue kevlar helmets don’t have warm wool liners and our service people are exposed to winds and bitter cold during the winter months. Riding in open trucks and humvees, they often encounter sub-zero wind chills. The helmets were sent to the troops for Christmas 2006.
