Potpourri of Warmth for Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Kathy for your potpourri of knitting and crocheting. Kathy had delivered 8 squares, 10 headbands/earwarmers, 9 hats, and 3 scarves. Kathy is our newest pair of helping hands. YIPPEE, love getting more helping hands. Kathy and I became acquainted through Facebook. In doing so we discovered not only is she a fellow Ohioan; but she lives in a small town where I lived in my early childhool. How's that for a small world folks? She and I were able to meet face to face which is always fun. We had a nice lunch while getting to know each other a bit better. Look forward to doing that again, and look forward to more warm goodies for our homeless and those in need off her hook and or knitting needles.

Having new helping hands is good, having a face to face meeting with a new friend is awesome! From memory, I believe this is the 3rd time I've gotten to meet someone in person who was donating after first meeting them here on the blog, or in a group on RAV or similiar type on line group.

Making headway folks with identifying where everyone is from, but still working on it. Please check the lists (both with and without blogs), to see if I have the state your from listed. If it's not listed by your name I can't add it to the map. Creeping forward on that, knowing this is a scheduled post (as they all are in que), as of the writing of this post 24 states are listed on the map giving us a 48% of the country. And you'll also note we have friends abroad in addition to that.

Please read about Sock it to Me in the sidebar. It's our March focus.
