i knit bedsocks,hats etc for a stall my brother runs at our local hospital in the heart rehab department . might be worth contacting somewhere like that or old people homes.They are always grateful for blankets.Help the Aged charity shops will take as many blankets and scarves that you can knit !

Just a quick PS ..there are four lovely scarf patterns here which you can print off.
They look easy to do on big needles.

They are knitting blue squares together to make a river, this is for water aid, and getting lots of media attention at the moment.
