Operation Gratitude

Operation Gratitude 


Listening to podcasts by creative people inspires me. My favorite craft-related podcasts are hosted by Martine (iMake), Marly (Yarn Thing), Kelly (Shorty’s Sutures), Jen (Down Cellar Studio), Benjamin (Fiber Hooligan), and Colleen (DC UnRaveled).

Yarn Thing podcast



Kelly talked about making scarves for Operation Gratitude in several podcast episodes (her husband served in the military). You can send them your handmade scarves and hats to be included in care packages sent to our military. So far I've made two scarves and one hat! Thanks to Kelly for the inspiration, and thanks to Kelly's husband for his service!!




Here you see the first scarf and the first hat I've ever made. I have already made a second scarf and plan to keep crocheting more (I've stashed plenty of yarn)! 



Handmade scarves and hats are just some of the many goodies that are included in the care packages.
Check the website with information about the many ways you can support our military:
