Military knitting

So, as some of you know, Charlie at work asked us knitterly folk to make hats for the brave at the hospital in Fayetteville, in the psych ward. This is a place that is close to my heart. Many of the wonderful people in my family have served time in the military and some in the psych ward. I am not sad for either, we learned things on both accounts that make things better today. We were originally trying to do as many as possible, started last week, and then we found out that we would only need to be knitting for women, and that about 10 hats would be required. We have 7 already and 2 more on the needles....Tina a kind heart does not know how to knit, but she donated money for us to buy yarn with. Thank you Tina. I have made two so far with the yarn money that she donated. I have a bin of yarn too that I think I may go through tonight and bring to knitting to see if anyone would like to use. I will post pictures, and I have a new pattern. One I had to make up off the cuff, since nothing I was doing was working. I thought that Lionbrand Thick & Quick Jiffy and Lionbrand Thick & Quick Wool-ease were the same guage approximately, I was wrong. Lol. But I now have an even quicker pattern for a hat that can be done in about 3 hours tops, on size 11 needles, it's quite dense and very warm, a great gift idea if you're looking.
