Ipad Failing Pictures, and Crocheting for Homeless

Sorry I have no pictures for you folks.  Using my ipad, and although I do have pictures, I'm not able to post them here for you.  I didn''t know that.  When you try to add pictures, as you would on your computer you do not get the browse option in order to select pictures you have right here on your ipad.  That seems silly to me.  I've got just 3 seams left on the daisy ghan ad so wanted to share the progress with you.  I am very much a newbie with my ipad, so if an of you can tell me how to post said pictures...please sing out.  I tried a cut and paste, but that  didn't work either.  Sommeone on facebook suggested I load it to an on line storage area and then use the url of the picture to post.  I tried that with pisca albums...a free on line storage for photo's area, but had no luck either.

Argh....the learning curve is frustrating me a bit.  Meanwhile, I hope to finish the ghan very soon, hope I have enough yarn with me for the edging...if not, that will wait.  Next up in a red scarf for the kiddo's.  As most of you know we're focusing on the needs of kids for the months of January and Febuary.  Please look at the top of the log, there's a tab for hats, scarves, mittens, and slippers.  Each of those tabs takes you to information about size, color, fiber etc.  I attempted to post links here, but apparently I'm linked challenged also....here on m ipad.

The temps around the country have been horrid lately, even in some traditionally warmer areas.  Please stay safe, and warm wherever you are, and remember......yarn, don't leave home without it!

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.

Donated Squares, Designed Afghans to aid Homeless

Daisy Ghan, what else could this one be called, lol.  Lots of pretty colors here with squares from several people, I think...the solid colors are from a couple of pairs of helping hands.  This is yet another afghan I designed in my multi-day design craze awhile back.  I dumped all the squares, new and old and played and played and played tossing knitted and crocheted squares here there and everywhere.  This one will most likely get edged and assembled with off white.

As you know May's focus is hats.  Please review the information in the hat tab across the top of the blog to be certain you're up to date regarding sizes, colors, fibers etc. needed to make our donations meet the need.
*Oh and please remember to attach a size tag to ALL hats.  Use string, yarn, safety pin.  Labels don't have to be fancy folks, but knowing the size is really needed by all the shelters, as well as schools to know how to store and distribute to the appropriate people in need.

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?
