  5. Oh, I hit send without thinking. Sorry. What is the A-Z challenge? I am going to have to look for that cotton combination of colors. I really like it. Sandy, if you don't want people to leave google+ comments, is there a way to eliminate that from the offerings?

    1. I wish there was a way, but if there is I haven't found direction on how to. I really dislike google+ because when people use it I can't click on their name and get to their blog ...it only takes you to the circle page and all that mess and you can see where they've left comments on someone else's blog, but you're really hard pressed to find their blog.

PLEASE leave your name and url, NOT a profile link, not a google or google plus. Only name and url will take me directly to your blog to return the favor of a comment.

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?
