Warmth and Snuggly Donated

 In yesterdays post I mentioned a church group with Dorna and Casey, and them spreading the news to other church members.  These little blankets were made by Stephanie and Lena D in the same church group.  The two pinks will make a little girl feel loved, as well as warm and red will work nicely for a little boy.  These are fleece blankets.
 More pink for the wee ones and rainbow blanket could work for a infant girl or boy.  These ladies are all from Canton Ohio.  We welcome you all and are thrilled to have more helping hands.  Keep up the good work.

**Reminding you all to please make sure your knitted and crocheted items are made from washable fibers.  Things requiring special care, and or dry cleaning such as silks, wool, suede etc aren't appropriate for our folks living outdoors and or shelters without means to do more then the very basic laundry.**

Donations: 2012 

Hats 991  (22 more hats then we donated last year)
Scarves: 633  (162 scarves over what we donated last year)

**I will continue to add numbers to the years totals after Dec 31st, so all donations received by years end will be counted in the year they are received.  Since each donation is a day, they will be some over flow into January.  Thus year end numbers won't be finalized until then.*


All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated, and all donations keep someone warm. We help, one stitch at a time. YOU truly DO make a difference. THANK YOU!

A variety of ways to warm people up

knitted and crocheted donations for homelessThank you Stephanie...more new helping hands from the state of New York. Not sure, but you might be our first pair of New York helping hands. I've been trying to note where folks are from this year as donations come in. Thought it would be fun to know. So, if you've donated before and are on one of our lists here, and I don't have the state from you're from listed...sing out so I can add it. Please and thanks.

Soft, and a wonderful variety in colors with this donation, click to see better. Stephanie knitted and crocheted 14 hats, 5 neck gator (neck warmers), and 2 scarves.

***Trying to track down YNC from Virginia, I don't know who that is. If you're out there,please sing out. Without a note in the box am unsure who this is***Would like to say thank you.

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?
