People are AWESOME. Thank you so much, your generous donations of handmade hats, and scarfs that serve several purposes. They keep homeless people living out in the elements in cold, Central Ohio warm...AND, they help us all rekindle our belief in the human spirit. Strong, enduring, loving.........what a wonderful thing.


The 2 crochet hats (grey and Scarlet and Grey for the second one) crocheted and donated by Judy in Eaton Ohio. Hugs a bunch Judy. Thanks so much Judy, they are so nice, and sooooooooo Buckeye!


6 matching hats and scarfs from Dorothy in San Antonio, Texas. The multi-mix crocheted, the 2 blues knitted, the red and white knitted, and the burgundy blend knitted. FABULOUS. I've rolled the scarfs and tucked them into the hats. But, am also showing pics of the hats with the matching scarfs so you can see Dorothy's beautiful work.hat and scarf set

IN ADDITION...Dorothy in San Antonio sent 3 single scarfs, one is sorta of hoody (which I like cause I have a hard to fit head size), one a soft blue, and one a beautiful red plaid.

THANK YOU LADIES, I called my sister-in-law, Jan and gave her the good news that we have more for her friend Rae. We'll soon be making another delivery.


I'm still working on the 2 tone blue knitted scarf (not as much time at work in between things as I had hoped to get it done).



Look at those counters! We will continue this project beyond the 100 goal I've set, we'll get the Bridge People taken care of first, then look to some other similar homeless in need.



Please keep stitching.

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?
