Hope by now you've seen the sticky post to the right about the mitten challenge for the month of October....Mitten Month. We'll carry the challenge through the first week of November based on when we announced the challenge. Beth, being proactive saw we had a need and read I'd deemed October as Mitten Month. To reach out, to have fun, and to accomplish more she designed a new mitten pattern for us. It's posted via the tab on top of the blog. She also issued a challenge to all to participate and see how many pairs of mittens we could come up with by the end of the challenge which is November 8th. To add a bit more jazz and excitement to the challenge I'm offering FREE yarn to the person who makes and donates the most mittens during that time frame. Naturally Beth and I are not in the running.
I hope you all get involved and knit, or crochet mittens. There are now 3 patterns here on this page; though you don't have to use those....but they are there for your convenience. Thanks to both James and Beth for that.
Please remember 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. It truly DOES make a difference. 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.

Fun....I've never made mittens, wonder how hard it is? Cool that you're giving away free yarn to the person who makes the most. Good luck to all. I'll look at Beth's patterns, maybe I can figure it out.
