Yarn for Ohio's Homeless
LOOK, more yarn from our good friends Dianne and her mother Mary. I've posted the fun story about our meeting up in a parking lot for the infamous "yarn drop". If you missed the story, click HERE (plus you can more pictures of their generosity).
You can see Mary stored her yarn in all types of containers, from boxes, to bags, to fun tin cans. Yarn for so many projects, all to benefit the cold and needy in Central Ohio.
Looks like Mary had started a Christmas project here with the red, white, and green. But, the strip....which I believe was an afghan start is raveled in the middle, so I'll probably unravel this section to put the yarn to use in other projects.
AND.............drum roll, here's the last group of yarn. Picture #10. WOW, wow, and WOW. Many thanks again Dianne and Mary, we truly appreciate you. **Still need contact from Carol C regarding your donation, please contact me via a comment here on the blog and or the contact form in the right sidebar.** 2014 DONATIONS: Hats: 648 Scarves: 331 Socks: 141 Afghans: 16 Slippers: 77 Rain Ponchos: 61 Mittens & Gloves: 68 Wrist Warmers: 1 Cotton Washcloths: 254 Shawls, Sweaters, Vests, Poncho's, Skirts, and Shrugs etc. 13 Neck warmers, cowls, gators, and other misc items aren't tabulated; as well as personal care item
