That is a great idea, but you would need to make sure the recipients enthusiastically welcome your hand mades. I had the idea to join in with the warm up America thing where you crochet the squares. Found out they don't really want them at Michael's (some throw them out) and what they really expect you to do is put them together and make the blankets yourself and find a recipient. (More than I want to get into. I have a little bit of time and materials to share but I don't want to go out beating the bushes looking for someone who wants my stuff). It is still a great idea though.
