Slippers, and Socks, and Scarves Oh My !

donations for homelessWowzer, another great donation from the hook of Annemarie in New York. 4 wonderful, soft, and large scarves, 2 hats, 3 pairs of slippers, and 12 pairs of socks. Annemarie...you rock!

Thank you, thank you, for your thoughtful donation. Please keep up the good work. By the way, these slippers are the first I've seen like this (I think from memory), what pattern did you use?

Mitten monthly is fast approaching an end, if you're busy knitting and crocheting mittens you still have time.

*Remember to include a note with your donation with your name, address (state), email ady, blog url, facebook profile, RAV profile etc; so I can let you know your donation arrived, get things properly documented. Please review the 3 lists here on the blog. Is a state listed by your name? Still have lots without....please let us know by leaving a comment so we can get states added to the map. You do not need to be a blogger to leave a comment, click name and url and leave url blank. Please do not use anonymous. To aid with unidentified donations a section has been added to the right side bar*

Misc Items I've not counted misc items like all the personal care items, the neck warmers, head bands or yarn etc.

**We've added 2 family shelters to our mission-- the list of people we help. Making the list as follows:
Bridge Folks (primarily Men) who live outdoors
Nancy Place through Faith Mission (all women), some of whom have been abused as well as homeless
Faith Mission, Men and Women (mostly Men)
2 Free Clinics, Women and children NO Babies
Holy Family (who pass out warm items along with a hot meal)
The Homeless Families Foundation, Men, Women, and Children....families(temporary housing for 47 families)
The YWCA Family Shelter, Men, Women, and Children....families(temporary housing for 100 families)**
As the list of those in need grows, I'm hopeful that pulling together we can grow our donations to meet the need. I'm hopeful we can spread the word, find more helping hands, and knit and crochet enough. Please help, and know it does matter!!

All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated, and all donations keep someone warm. We help, one stitch at a time. YOU truly DO make a difference. THANK YOU!

PLEASE leave your name and url, NOT a profile link, not a google or google plus. Only name and url will take me directly to your blog to return the favor of a comment.

Where are You and Your Yarn From?

I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.

Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
