Crocheter from Lima Aids Columbus Homeless

 Please join me in saying welcome to Deb C from Lima Ohio, our newest pair of helping hands.  AND what a pair of helping hands she is.  Look at this awesome donation.  Deb has been very busy with her crochet hook as you can see.  She's crocheted scarves (center of the above photo) in wonderful dark colors and look how she packaged them.  She's folded them and nicely tied a ribbon with a size tag.  It truly makes it look like a special packaged gift.  I wish I had thought of that.  She's also used her crochet talents to crochet those cotton washcloths that everyone loves.  Those too are packaged.  Each little bundle has several cotton cloths tied with string.  The cloths are a variety of colors.  These cloths are used by our folks living on the street as well as those living in shelters.  Additionally, they are put  in the welcome packs all family's receive when they transition from shelter living to their permanent housing situation.

In both photo's you see what always makes me giddy..........MiTTens!  I truly do get super excited when we get mittens  donated.  They aren't the easiest things to make, knitted or crochet, so truly Deb I'm thrilled you're able to help us with that much needed item.  She's included mittens in a large variety of sizes and colors to warm many pairs of cold hands.

Thank you Deb, please keep up the good work.

 WOW and then some.  Our long time friend and generous supporter Sandra R from Florida has done it again.  Look at these awesome sets of matching hats and mittens for the kiddo's!  She's knitted a variety of sizes and colors that will put a smile on lots of little faces, as  well as keep them warm.  Sandra you are awesome!  You know how excited I get every time we get mittens, well this is truly a bonus...matching hats and mittens.......ALL nicely tagged with size.  AND she's included always needed personal care items.

Love, and Time for Knitting

There have been so many cute knitting and crocheting t-shirts of late...we could have a whole wardrobe of them.  Really like this one, don't we  all need more time!  It just seems to flash forward so much quicker than ever before.  And here we are with truly fall weather and then some, summer Zipped by. Was only 50 this am at 7 and has only climbed a few degrees since then.  I hope that doesn't mean it's going to get colder quicker than normal.  Got my  toes and fingers crossed.

How is it in your neck of woods folks?
