    Maria I love to knit mittens and learned not that long ago. I find knitting them rather addictive. Yours turned out BEAUTIFUL as did your hats and the Afghan is wonderful too! Thanks so much for using your time and talent to help the homeless and working poor!

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?
