Knit a vet a blanket...

Our pal comedian Jen Kirkman has a message to you knitters and crocheters out there:

Gentlemen, Ladies, do you knit? Does a loved one you know knit or crochet?

Do you have some extra time between now and the holiday season?

Would you be willing to knit a blanket for a war veteran who is currently staying in a veterans hospital?

If you are, I'm willing to do the rest, which is gift wrap each one with your name on it and I'll take care of sending them. I'm not doing this on my own but am doing it as part of an organization that's sending blankets to vets in VA Hospitals this holiday season.

If you think you could get it together, Jen's got more information here on her blog. Regardless of how you feel about the war or war in general or the military, it's vitally important to show folks returning from it that there are people around the country who care about them, and this is a wonderfully personal way to do that. K?
