Crocheted Blue Hats Help Homeless

Thank you Som P from Virginia for this thoughtful donation of crocheted hats.  As you can see she's included a variety of sizes in her blue variegated donation.  This blue works well for men or women.  You might remember Som used to live in Hawaii.  She's now moved and is still crocheting and donating to Bridge and Beyond to help Ohio's Homeless.

Many thanks Som, please keep up the good work.

I'm going to try something a little different with keeping our stats.  I'm listing our end numbers from 2015 and will subtract our current number as means of keeping our goal in front of us.  I'll show the goal number in Red.  Let's strive not just to match last years numbers, but.........work towards even more.  Thank you for all you do.  As time goes on, we won't see the year end numbers, we'll see the previous goal and subtract the new donation from it.  Hopefully we'll find this helpful and not too cumbersome...if so, we'll return to our previous format.

2016 DONATIONS:
Hats:  401-7=394
Scarves: 179
Mittens/Gloves/Wrist Warmers: 110
Slippers: 104
Rain Poncho's:  105

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?
