Since I've been home from my surgery (find out what and why on my other blog www.margo.koroknaypalicz.com) I've been trying to keep from going completely bonkers from watching too much TV. Working on my regular knitting of socks and sweater was too intense trying to read patterns or even trying to remember patterns. Couldn't keep the concentration going. And trying to work on any scrapbooking or cardmaking project also took some amount of patience which I just didn't have. I preferred to do some very light reading, doze, and watch mindless shows. The perfect solution was knitting up some squares for the Linus Project. The project, named for the Peanuts character Linus and his always blanket companion, makes blankets for children in need. A yarn store north of here is trying to meet the need of a request from their local National Guard for 500 blankets to give to the families of troops heading overseas.
So I got to work with leftover yarn from my stash and made some squares. Coggie (from my Ravelry knitting group) is picking them up and will begin the task of assembling them into an afghan. I truly appreciate that effort.
Here are the 26 blue, purple, taupe and green squares which hopefully some child will hold onto and hug tightly while their father or mother is gone.
