Nonna’s Yarn Cafe is doing a wonderful project and are asking all knitters to make helmet liners for our troops serving in Afghanistan.
A friend of the shop owner’s is involved with K-help and has asked us to make helmet liners for our troops in Afghanistan. These liners are to be knitted in 100% wool, like Galway or Cascade 220 in dark colors such as black, greys, green. The shop has the pattern and a finished liner in the shop for added help.
And to make it more enticing, with every liner returned to the shop for our troops that is knitted with wool purchased at Nonna’s will receive a coupon worth 10% off your next purchase of regularly priced yarn.
Every Tuesday evening in November the shop will be giving free lessons on how to knit the liners. Therefore take advantage of this opportunity to learn how to knit in the round using circular and double point and at the same time you will be making some soldier feel warm this winter.
The shop will be shipping the liners by December 13, 2009. I hope all the knitters out there will help out!
