Crocheting Helps Those in Need

Thank you Lisa Z for this thoughtful crocheted donation.  Lisa has included 2 scarves and 4 cotton washcloths, though you may need to click to enlarge the photo to see the 2nd scarf.  My carpet and her scarf are so close in color it's hard to see it; but trust me.........it's there, lol.

Lisa the red, green, and yellow mix for the cotton cloth at the top of the photo is awesome!  I've never seen that particularly mix, variety of cotton and I LOVE how much it looks like an argyle sock!  Do you remember what it was called?  It's also dark enough that it works for either a man or woman, which is always a nice bonus.

Many thanks for your hard work and thoughtfulness.  Please keep up the good work.

Please note the category of shawl, shrugs, ponchos etc has reached our little goal, same as last year of 1.........but please please please.........don't let that stop you from making more of these items.  Likewise note we've definitely reached our goal for rain poncho's.  Rain ponchos's serve many purposes so we will probably still need some....down the line, but not for awhile.

All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.

  1. Nice donation Lisa Z. The scarves will help people stay warm this coming winter and the washcloths will certainly be used now.

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?
