It is an awesome idea, and I followed the link you provided. Unfortunately, here was the response I received:

“Sorry to say, I have no idea of what you are talking about. Sounds like a great idea, but guess I’ve been out of the loop with PL. Hope you can find what you need.”

If anyone is able to find a chapter that is actually doing this, please let me know!

I’ve heard about Project Linus and I think its awesome! Anyone can make a blanket…. you can easily make those knot blankets that are also fun to make! I knew that they included homeless kids in their “otherwise in need” category… but how cool that they also are making weighted blankets for kids with sensory needs!

I think this is wonderful. My daughter was hospitalized when she was 18 months with a virus. The doctors didn’t tell us how serious it was until it was over. We were given a blanket in the ER, a long and scary night without benefit of my husband, who was home with the other two children. She sleeps with it to this day.

I also had to laugh at the Peanuts reference to “Linus.” I just got home from the high school homecoming prep rally. I swear the entire marching band had this light swirling fog around them like “Pig-Pen.” Then I read your blog and laughed because I was thinking about Peanuts earlier.

Did you know I am a closet quilter? I checked out the online pattern and think I might give this a try. I love the idea. My kids all have special blankets…which look awful! Dylan just told me his doesn’t look that bad (he is reading with me) except it is purple and covered in hearts (and he is a 13 year old boy). He got it from his Aunt who made it for herself. It is made out of silk and we have found nothing ever that would compare so he has kept it, and even taken it to scout camp a couple of times.

Wow–that’s so great that they’ve added weighted blankets! I’ve heard of this project before but expanding and thinking of those kiddos with sensory needs is so wonderful!

The Roc has his “EE” and “Baby” that he’s been attached to ever since he was 13 months old. He named them too! He’s sleeping with them now (along with a jack rabbit, another elephant and a bear…there’s quite a lot of love for stuffed animals over here! Especially elephants!)

SO cool! My daughter is 15 and still has her blankie (and stuffed animal). If there were a fire, it would be one of the first things I’d grab.
