I have been knitting hats for soldiers (specifically helmet liners) for a few years and this year I would like to knit simple hats or touques for navy officers.

Does anyone know of any organizations that services the Navy within Canada or the US; or if they have a contact that they can connect me with. The hats Iā€™ve knit so far are a simple k2, p2 ribbed hat in navy blue.

As with any work done for the troops, this is not a political campaign so regardless of how we may feel about the war, itā€™s about helping out the men and women who are out there and risking their lives.

I would hate to think that only the soldiers are getting hats and the seamen are being left out!:knitting:

Hi st.tropez,
What a wonderful thing to d by knitting helmet liners . I am sure that men who recieved them, appreciated them.
I am a UK resident and i am not sure about organizations within Canada or the US that service the Navy.
I will try and see what i can find on the internet but in the mean time maybe someone from the US or Canada will be able to provide us with the information.:slight_smile:
I would also suggest you post this question in the Questions section of the forum so more people will see it .

197

Thanks Rita, I appreciate your help and will follow your suggestion about posting in the general section.

198

I also replied to your post in General Knitting. I thought Iā€™d reply here too.
