Crocheted Donations for the Homeless

 Time to wash up!  Pictured here are cotton washcloths crocheted by our good friend Diana K.  LOTS of them.  Cotton washcloths have several uses and are greatly appreciated by many.  They are donated to folks as they enter a shelter, as they leave the shelters for their permanent housing situation, and for the folks living out in the elements.  They can be used as personal cotton washcloths and or dishcloths.
 Diana has been very busy, as you can see she's also crocheted matching hats and scarves in a variety of colors.  I LOVE the color choices Diana, something appropriate for both the men and the women.  The Chevron style scarf is really very nice.  Using solid colors the texture shows up so well.
And as you can see, the hats have a nice thick brim for added warmth.  Hats with brims are also nice for heads of varying sizes.  Many thanks Diana for your generosity and please keep up the good work.
