Project Linus

the problem:

To day we have made 46 blankets for Project Linus, an organization that gives "security" blankets to those suffering from illnesses (generally terminal) as a way to give them a little security. We learned that sometimes the medication that the patients are given make their skin very sensitive and the soft fleece blankets are a comfort and the bright happy colors brighten the stark hospital rooms.

What a great program. Thank you for your efforts to help this very deserving group of people.

Cool idea. Can I knit a blanket for the cause??

I just wanted to thank you, because about three years ago,I received one of the blankets
[obviously not directly from your group, since I live far away]
but your supporting a great cause!!!
Thank you!
