completed bandages and another one in progress January 2016 Several weeks ago, I posted about the Bandage Brigade , and the knitting for that project is on-going. It's the perfect project to take to knitting night because it doesn't have a pattern that requires my concentration. As you can see by the size of the ball of thread in the photo, this is another Slash the Stash project. If my calculations are correct, that ball should be adequate to knit 7 additional bandages.

Rachel B. displays the bandage she is knitting with crochet thread for the   D.O.V.E. Fund Bandage Brigade Project   Rachel presented several crafting for charity options to Guild members at the October meeting. One project piqued my interest because I had a lot of crochet thread in my stash. The D.O.V.E. Fund has a Bandage Brigade for creating crocheted or knitted bandages for Vietnamese people suffering from leprosy. The bandages are created with white, cream, or ecru size 10 crochet cotton. The knitted version is 28 stitches wide (approximately 4 inches) and 40 inches long - all garter stitch for easy knitting. one bandage finished and laundered another bandage started November 2015 I have one bandage finished and another one started. It's an easy project to work on in the evenings while "watching" television or a movie or while chatting at knitting night. Information on the project and instructions for knitting or crocheting the bandages can be found...
