Sue Kreitzer in Sanger TX has really stepped up and knit 3 complete afghans for our homeless and cold families in North Dakota.  She also did all the sewing of the pieces.  2 of them were knit in squares using many beautiful stitches and detail, and the red, white, and blue one is a one piece design.  Great work shows a lot of caring for less fortunate women and children. Thank you, Sue!

   Just a few more thoughts about these afghans by Sue. the pink and cream one was knit by sewing the squares together. each square is knit using many different stitches. I wish all could see it up close-its really pretty.
   The red-white-blue one is all one piece and Sue used a design that she had just learned from a loom knitting book. What a great job.
   Thanks, and there’s more to come to update on this project.
   thanks, pat

   Thanks Pat for your wonderful comments on my afghans. I am so hoping more people will join your efforts and submit just 1 or 2 squares. I am looking forward to having many squares to sew together to create many blankets. I am having so much fun to see what I can come up with for the next blanket. PLEASE, everyone make a square or two for this very worthy cause.

   Hi Sue, well your wish has come true. I have received 12 beautiful knitted squares from Laura Carlos in Neptune, NJ. They are all different and using lots of pretty yarns and stitches. They are 12″ X 12″. You will love sewing these together for our next blanket. As soon as we get it together, I will take some photos for everyone to see. I am getting really excited about this. Thank you so much Laura Carlos.
   Also, I am sending the red, white, and blue afghan to the veteran hospital to be shared with some of our recovering young men. I know they will greatly appreciate it. I’m also sending some scarf kits to them to help with the down time of recovery. I think they will enjoy learning to knit someone a nice gift while spending time there. What do you think?

   Pat,
   What a wonderful idea. I think the red,white and blue to a recovering vet is wonderful. My son spent almost 20 years in the special forces I have a special place for the arm forces. I am looking forward to receiving the squares to sew together. I have 11 squares made for another one and another that will be in solid piece. I think the idea of kits for scarves is WONDERFUL. They can always use things to help with rehab. Let me know if there is anything else I can do.

   Pat,
   I am so glad to hear you have squares ready to sew together. Look forward to receiving them. I have about 11 ready to sew, and another that is all one piece. I am so glad to hear that the red, white and blue one is going to the vets. My son spent 20 years (Green Beret) in the Army so vets hold a special place for me. I think the idea of scarf kits is great (so does m
