Elaine Kluge replied to trixie dubose's discussion Crochet anyone?"Thank you Margie.
I have been all over the internet looking for this but I am new to using the "search option".Just one of the flux of not being educated during the internet age! Opps, now I am giving MY age away . LOL"
Elaine Kluge left a comment for Teri-Lyn Calhoun"Teri.
The reason the military requires 100% wool is because of the fact that fire is often connected to the troupes.If acrilic was used it tends to melt. Can you imagine what that would do to a burn injury ! Cotton trends to burn fast. Therefor they…"
Teri-Lyn Calhoun left a comment for Elaine Kluge"Thanks - never knew there was such a thing - and can't believe it has to be 100% wool while it is so much like an oven over there!! whew! Of course - whether we believe in the war or not, our troop depends on our support."
Elaine Kluge left a comment for Teri-Lyn Calhoun"I would be happy to share the link for making helment liners for the troops with the group. It will take me a while to dig it out but in a few days I should have it and will post it for all to see.I hope everyone will consider doing this wonderful…"
Teri-Lyn Calhoun left a comment for Elaine Kluge"100% wool - no wonder you wouldn't be working on it during the summer. Texas is sure known for its heat. I wonder what it would be like working in the Arizona Heat (contemplating - but not sure about moving out there someday).
Is there a way…"

I was just looking through your pix . Lots of work there ! One comment: I hope you made a special blanket for you little models. Both dogs did such a good job modeling they deserve one !
I will be reading all the post on our special…"
Elaine Kluge replied to trixie dubose's discussion Crochet anyone?"Hi Leslie,
Do you by any chance have a pattern for a "snood"? My mother was one of many lady's who wore them during the war because it held their hair out of the way while they performed their duties as "Rosie the Riviter".…"

Is there a way you could share the link or more info on this Helmet Liner with the rest of us? Maybe we all could do something that in our corner of the world.

- Funny you said that - I did make a few for my Chi-Chi Marie. She's always hiding under the blankets. One time (when she was just a pup) we couldn't find her anywhere. Eventually found her climbing out of my knitting bag! lol As for Caper - the current dog we have, she is not interested in it. I think she just wanted to be a part of the event - nothing to do with the blanket. :) They are something else.
Helmet Liners - knitted? Never knew there was such a thing!
