Red Mittens Are Off To Kandahar
I was wondering what I should do with the extra large pair of red mittens I made this fall…I certainly don’t have hands large enough to wear them. I want them to go to someone who will appreciate them as a gift, as mittens, and as a show of patriotism and unity as a country.
Last week I got an idea….don’t you love it when inspiration hits suddenly, and you just know what to do…
care package
I’m in the middle of preparing a care package for a friend who is serving as a military chaplain in Kandahar. Along with letters and snacks and silly toys and trinkets, I’ll include this pair of large red mittens. I bet they don’t sell red mitts in Afghanistan! My friend will be dressed in style to cheer for the Olympics.
Who are you knitting red mittens for?
