Honoring veterans with hand-knitted scarves

This past Saturday, Knit Your Bit participated in our local Standown with the Veterans Administration for our third year.  It is so meaningful to tell a veteran “Knitters from around the country hand-knitted scarves and sent them to us at The National WWII Museum with the expectation that we would give them to a veteran.” And then to look them in the eye as they choose a handsome scarf and say “Thank you for your service” is humbling.  Here are some pictures of scarf distribution in action:

Knit Your Bit keeps the mailroom busy with packages from knitters and crocheters all over.
