Please welcome Sue F from Ohio, our newest pair of helping hands. Many thanks Sue for your first donation here, and may there many more! Sue's above donation includes both knitted and crocheted goodies to warm our folks in need. The hats (10), and the scarves (8) are a variety of sizes and colors.I'm happy to report that I've received emails inquiries from some more folks wanting to help and that the news of our cause is in fact spreading. Thank you to all who've helped in that effort with mouth to mouth referrals, facebook posts, tweets, and or posts on blogs and craft forums such as Rav, Crochetville, and The Hive. Please keep up the good work. It's not possible to have too much help. The more help we obtain the more people we can help, the further we can spread our arms.
