Knitting and Crocheting to Help Homeless

Thank you Marie P from Tennessee for this thoughtful donation.  Not a good picture at all, darn it folks.  Marie's has donated some personal care items, a scarf, hat, and 3 pairs of socks.  The contrast in the black and orange seem to make it hard to see...that and it was a very dark gloomy day when I took the picture; not that we've many that haven't been.  

 Thank you Marie for tagging the hat with size, I really appreciate that and know the volunteers at the shelters do too.

 **Wonder what to make?  Check the tabs across the top of the blog, hats, scarves, mittens, slippers etc. each item we collect has it's own tab with necessary information about size, color, and fiber as well as patterns you might enjoy using.  There's a tab for knitted and crocheted cotton washcloths, and afghans.  If you have a question you don't find the answer to in those tabs, please leave a comment, or use the contact form in the right side bar, or email me at sandycrochet@gmail.com

    Thank you so much Marie for your wonderful donation! I really love that orange hat! And I know for sure that somebody's neck and feet will be warmer thanks to you! Thanks also for the personal care items as they are so needed too.The picture is dark as Sandy said so I can't tell if your items are knitted or crocheted but no matter which.......keep you hook or needles FLYING!

    Thanks Marie. Love the combination of the orange and gray. Definitely a lovely donation, and as Sally said someone is going to be nice and warm. The days are definitely improving although I hear there is another storm crossing the country. This has got to end soon. Beautiful weather here, in that we are melting stuff like crazy Always a good sign. Again Marie, Thank you for helping the Ohio Homeless.. GOOD JOB.
