Crocheting Helps Homeless All Year Long

Thank you Emily for this thoughtful donation of crocheted goodies!  Emily has crocheted several styles of hats with a nice mix of sizes.  She also included cotton washcloths and a crocheted scarf.  All items will help those in need and be very much appreciated by those who receive them.

Folks our last delivery went to our friend Rae who prepares hot meals for those living out in the elements on Saturday morning, so even while we complain about being hot our homeless friends still need our help.  Thank you for all you do.

Thank you Emily, please keep up the good work.

Please note the category of shawl, shrugs, ponchos etc has reached our little goal, same as last year of 1.........but please please please.........don't let that stop you from making more of these items.  Likewise note we've definitely reached our goal for rain poncho's.  Rain ponchos's serve many purposes so we will probably still need some....down the line, but not for awhile.

All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.

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?
