HANDMADE AFGHAN PROJECT

http://www.rectangle6x9.org/

This charity collects 6 in x 9 in rectangles from over 600 (and growing) volunteers across the country and europe. Every 2-3 months they have Put-Togethor-Events where they layout ALL the rectangles. They use 49 to make one blanket. Volunteers sew them togethor and when they are completed they distribute them to Military Hospitals in Afghanistan, Germany and the United States.

This is a great charity for beginners because you only have to make a small rectangle piece. Most charities request completed blankets. You can make 1 or 100. Whatever your able to contribute is fine.

In order to contribute, you would need to go to the website and follow the instructions.

Pattern Generator for Arm/Wrist Warmers

Just enter your wrist measurment, gauge, and needle size.

#3 Big & Little Cabled Rectangle

This is #3 Big and Little Cabled Rectangle

6 x 9 inches

I would suggest this as a beginner cable pattern. You only have to use the cable needle 5 times in 52 rows. This was the first cable pattern I ever knitted. It's by far my favorite. I also used it in an arm warmer pattern below. Arm Warmer #1 in blue. CO is only 32 stitches. I used moss stitch on the outsides and reverse stockinette stitch in between the cables.

BLOCKING: To give it the correct shape of 6 x 9 inches I placed the rectangle on a pillow (you can also use a towel) and used pins to put it in the correct dimensions. Then I took a water bottle and spritzed water on it. Lastly, take your iron and put it on "high steam" and go back and forth over the knitted piece. DO NOT TOUCH the yarn if it is acrylic. It will MELT.

The Snuggles Project

http://www.snugglesproject.org/ is an organization that accept pet blankets for cats & dogs that are in shelters and don't have homes. Many shelters only have concrete floors for these dogs. A blanket is all they need to be comforted. Please don't forget the animals that need your help.

When you go to the site, listed above, you will find a donation form (http://www.snugglesproject.org/docs/snugform.html) you can fill out. One copy goes with the blanket so the shelter knows who sent the item to them. They also ask that you send one copy to the Snugges Organization via fax or mail.

They have a shelter directory at http://www.h4ha.org/shelter-directory/index.php

All you have to do is click on the country,state and city and look for shelters with the symbol of a dog next to it.


Sizing:
14” x 14” for cats and small animals
24” x 24” for cats and small to medium dogs
