Knitted Cotton Washcloths Always Helpful for Homeless

Thank you Christine D, fellow Ohioan for this thoughtful donation of knitted washcloths.  I LOVE the red-green mix.  Not sure I've seen that cotton before.  It's dark enough for the men folk!  Christine has also included a good supply of personal care items.  Cotton washcloths and personal care items are truly used all year long, doesn't matter what the weather is they are needed and appreciated by both those living in the elements, and those living in shelters.

Please keep up the good work Christine.  Special thanks for delivering them to my door.

**Still looking for a Jane B from Minnesota (without contact, no further donations will be accepted)

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?
