Thank you Yvonne for helping warm our homeless from Head to Toe. Poncho's have hoods, and socks help warm the feet. With this thoughtful donation of 6 pairs of socks, 4 ponchos, and a pair of slippers you're helping our homeless truly head to toe! The slippers are knitted with double yarn, so are nice and thick and warm. Many thanks!
7 More Days of April Showers, folks. Still plenty of time for you to get in on the action and help keep a homeless person in need dry.
**This is post #398, only 2 more to go until we reach milestone 400. PLEASE don't miss it, a special announcement for a contest you really don't want to miss will be announced.**
***Reminders, tuck in ends when you change or add yarn, stay away from open-see through type stitches (if you're able to see your hand through your projects, try going down a size with your hook to obtain a tighter and warmer item). Though we highlight an item each month, we continue to collect hats, scarves, mittens, and slippers all year long. When you come visit the blog, please leave a comment so we know you were here.***
Thank you to all for all do.

As I type, I can hear the rain BEATING down on my roof and thunder in the background. Those ponchos are sure going to be appreciated Yvonne. LOVE your slippers. I bet the double yarn makes them toasty warm. I've got to learn how to knit those someday - yours look awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comments. I'm glad I can help. Yvonne

ReplyDeleteThanks psmflowerlady, and Sally for your thoughtful comments. Like psmflowerlady said, as I type this...I again hear the rain. Different day, but the same problem.
