I for one was there during the summer and an extra layer was the last thing I wanted. During the winter, I could see one coming in handy however. It was starting to get kinda chilly right before I came home.

I made me baby brudder a double-strand afghan that he took with him to Afghanistan (no, the humor is not lost on me LOLZ) in that cool camouflage yarn. He says he uses it a lot in the winter, though - I guess winter can be pretty rough there, especially around the mountains. Today, near Jamey's base, it was 40-50F, if that helps.

I make the scarves and crochet to relieve stress, so if he knows anyone that needs scarves let me know, Tammy. I could do an afghan too, but would have to find one of those quick patterns.

You see alot of the troops in the media with scarfs to shield them from the blowing sand and so fourth. We used to send a lot of bandannas,lightweight would seem to be the way to go.Heavy yarn would be hot I would imagine. Of course I have little knowledge on the whole crocheting front. But I do make a fine beaded handbag!
