I'm still working on the rectangles. I'm on my 9th one now.

Excellent!!
Every 6"x9" rectangle is a way to thank those wounded in service to our country!!!!
Thanks, Deborah

Will you join the 6"x9" Challenge??

You are challenged to make at least one 6"x9" rectangle a week until March 31st...... it is only 7 6"x9" acrylic rectangles!!
If everyone who looks at this thread helps we will have MANY more 6"x9" rectangles to make handmade afghans to thank those wounded in service to our country!

For more information email me at Rectangle6x9@comcast.net

Thank YOU for helping to thank those wounded in service to our country, Deborah

My grandmother and I are working on some rectangles for this, I think it's a brilliant idea!! She's bragging that she's already got about 10 done so far. It's a great way to practice perfecting your tension! As a novice knitter, I need all the practice I can get!

I will make some if you could send me information of where to send them

Just sent you a PM....
anyone interested in making 6"x9" rectangles (acrylic only) for
The Handmade Afghans to Thank Our Armed Force Project

please, please, please
drop me a note at rectangle6x9@comcast.net
so I can send you the "welcome note" with detailed information
on our needs.

Thank you for your interest in helping to thank those wounded in service, Deborah

If you are interested in trying out new stitches and helping others.... this is a great project for you!!!

The 6"x9" acrylic rectangles can be made in almost ANY stitch!!!
Thought you would like to see how that cable looks but didn't want to do a swatch? How about that neat triangle pattern?

Give it a try
and then donate the 6"x9" rectangle
to
help thank those wounded in service to our country!!!!
The only stitches that do not work well are ribbing and very lacy stitches. Let your imagination fly!!!

You all are very quiet.. does that mean you are busy making 6"x9" acrylic rectangles to help thank those wounded in service to our country?

Thank you so much for this info! I am new to this site (this is my very first post!) There is no one more deserving than our military heroes! Though I do not have a family member in the service, I am active in my local VFW and have been doing a bit of volunteering for our local Blue Star Mother's chapter. Though I am not a very experienced knitter (working on it!) I have just created a pattern to make a BSM square - haven't started on it yet (need to finish a blanket for an upcoming baby shower first ) but am excited to try it out! I will DEFINITELY do up some squares for this worthy cause - GREAT take along knitting!
