Belle of the Blankets

Blogger "Conservative Belle" has a challenge for you!

When she saw that the Blankets of Belief (Wrapped in Holiday Spirit) campaign was in need of many more blankets than had been collected, she decided to do something about it. Belle has stepped up to challenge her fellow knitters, seamstresses and no-sew blanket makers to participate in the many blanket campaigns of Soldiers' Angels.

Anyone making a Blanket of Belief is invited to send Conservative Belle pictures of the completed blanket. She will award a personally hand-knitted scarf and hat set to the best blanket. In addition, the first person to make both a Blanket of Belief and Blanket of Gratitude, as well as whoever makes the most blankets overall will also receive her hand-knitted prizes.

Go read how easy it is to make a blanket for under $20 and two hours of effort. "First, set aside all your "I can't sew or do crafty things" reservations and put on your 'can do' attitude," she wrote. "Remember, this is for those in our military who always have a can do attitude for us. This project is easy and you have OPTIONS!"
