Thank you, THANK YOU........you are all wonderful to keep supporting this worthy cause. I'm sorry it's taken me a while to get things photographed and posted, and appreciate your patience with my being behind due to the sad situation regarding Mom (if you'd like to read more about it, I've posted on my regular blog

Goals:
Hats 200-175 ONLY 25 hats to meet goal
Scarfs 100-85 ONLY 15 to meet goal
Mittens 100-41 Need 59 pairs to meet goal

I am THRILLED to see how many people we've been able to keep warm during these cold, wet, snowing, months in Central Ohio. We're having Spring...flowers are coming out with the sun during the day.........NIGHTS, still a different story. We're still having freezing temperatures at night; though are looking forward to that coming to an end. PLEASE keep knitting and crocheting. Anything not working for our men under the bridge will be used for those at the free clinic (women and children). AND....any items not needed at the clinic will be available for the next season. Fall can come fast and cold here in Ohio.

My sincere thanks, once again for so many kind and caring people!

SOCK it to me ....AND!!!

socks

40 pairs of feet will be warmer and dryer thanks to that load of socks you see in the picture. Finally got out a week ago and shopped and got more socks. Sorry for the delay in getting picture taken, edited and posted. Thanks going out to Bill (a multiple friend from The UK), Jenny (from Scotland I know from Ravelry), and Cowgirl (Chris from Multiple).

I was able to buy in bulk and got 4 packages of 10 pairs each. I was sooooooooo excited and hope you share my excitement

knitted hats and scarf

And more wonderful handmade goodies. Another beautiful scarf all the way from Scotland from Jenny Wren (on Rav) #80, and hats (161 &162) from Sandie. Beautiful work from both of these special ladies.

Look how close we're getting to our scarf goal! Party time soon. lol.

Many thanks for all the wonderful support of this ongoing cause. Don't stop knitting and crocheting, please.........keep those fingers nimble.

On a person note, many thanks to all who've offered prayers and good wishes from my mother, I posted another update about the hospital situation here.

And for a diversion while waiting on calls from the hospital I made a long over due post with some cool pics from our last trip, was nice to think of better times while I was posting it and hope you all take a minute to visit and comment.

Help with Socks, Counting more goodies!

First...a reminder to ask that each heartfelt donation be accompanied with a note telling me who you are. Packages come with real names, most of you use internet names/screen names etc. here on blogger, on Rav. etc. I need to know who you are in cyberworld in order match you up with your real names. Still looking for a Sarah from Hawaii and Joanne from California. Please see 2 previous post for their donations. If you know who these caring ladies are, please let me know so I can properly thank them.

Showing the front and back of an Enlgish Bank Note that came from a caring man named Bill; whom I know from blogging a bit over on Multiply. I think it's cool how different the money looks from other countries. This will go for socks as soon as I can get out shopping. (my mom's in ICU after an emergency surgery and so my time is not my own...thus my delay in making updates here as well).

Thanks go out to Sandie for another of her wonderful creations...Hat #150

And Jenny (Wren on RAV), all the way from Scotland. Scarf #72

Sandie's hat is crocheted and Jenny's scarf is knitted...I would love to know how you made the scarf Jenny, I've never seen the stitches run that way and am most interested to learn how you did that.

I'll try to get another round of pictures taken later. Need to get to the hospital.

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?
