Warming the Homeless Through Crochet

 AnneMarie, do you sleep?  Seriously you must crochet with the fastest hook around.  Hats to fit many different sized heads, in lots of different colors!  Many thanks also AnneMarie for tagging all your hats with size, it really is so very helpful.  There are solids, darks, brighter colors too.  Some hats perfectly suited to the menfolk, others great for the ladies, and some for teens as well.
She's also crocheted some scarves!  A marvelous and caring donation to help many people in need.

Many thanks AnneMarie!

Afghans Celebrate an Important Move

 Another awesome ripple-ish type afghan from our good friend AnneMarie (if you missed yesterday's post, please scroll back to see her other afghans).  I say ripple-ish because it's sorta a ripple, but softer ups and downs.  This one is slightly different in that it has a bit of feather and fan to it (feather and fan are a common ripple style used in knitting).  LOVE the colors.  This will be great to snuggle up in.
And everyone knows this style afghan, the most recognisable style afghan that probably exists.  A granny style, beautifully made with bright cheery colors.  Two more lucky family's will receive these afghans through our Project Welcome Home, where we donate afghans as folks transition from shelter living to their permanent housing situation.  Something to celebrate.  Our afghans are a way to say Congratulations for moving forward, and best of luck for a brighter future.

As always, thank you for your generosity AnneMarie.  Keep up the good work.  Be sure and pop in tomorrow for the final box of goodies from AnneMarie

Crocheted Afghans for Homeless Families Foundation

 Bright and Beautiful!  Many thanks to our good friend AnneMarie from New York for crocheting and donating this colorful afghan.  Look at all the colors!  It's a ripple and everyone loves a ripple.  This is less pointed then a ripple and looks like soft waves to me.  Truly lovely.
This beautiful turquoise shell stitch afghan is soooooooo pretty.  Do click on both pictures folks so you can see the details of these beautiful afghans AnneMarie has crocheted.  Can you imagine the smiles of the lucky recipients!

As always, thank you for your long time support and generosity.  Please keep up the good work.

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?
