Ok, here are the basics. We are asking for handmade blankets/afghans that are twin bed size or smaller. You can knit, crochet, quilt, or make the hand tied (no sew) fleece blankets. (We are open to any other methods as well.) Any pattern or color, that is up to your creativity. Just be sure they are tasteful and appropriate. When you are finished, you can send them to:

Knit for the Navy
PO Box 539
Madras, OR 97741

After I receive the blanket/afghan, they will be collected and distributed to the ship of the month. Look for pictures of the finished blankets/afghans posted here. Any questions or suggestions can be sent to me or posted on our message board here. Thank you all for your help.

Comment by Paul's Mom...Terri on April 15, 2009 at 7:01pm: My son Paul selected the USS Mason as our first ship back in December. The Mason is a Nimitz class destroyer stationed in Norfolk, VA. Paul came home for Christmas leave and was able to randomly select our first ship. We collected afghans for about 3 monthes and when I shipped them out at the end of last month we mailed out 38 afghans to the crew of the Mason. We would like to continue to do this for every ship and every sailor in the Navy. But we need your help. If you don't know or crochet there are lots of other ways to help. Just ask. I know it is a huge undertaking but I believe in the power of Navy Moms and Dads.

Comment by Paul's Mom...Terri on April 15, 2009 at 1:04pm: Hi Everyone. This group is the "sister" group to our group on the N4m's site. Later on this evening I will post all the important information about this group. You will have all you need to know to help us blanket the entire Navy with a touch of home to show our appreciatation and support of our sailors. Stay tuned!!!!
