Loomed Hats Warm Ohio's Homeless


Thank you Karen S for this thoughtful donation.  Karen has loomed (knitted) 5 awesome hats in great colors to warm 5 heads.  As I type this scheduled post it is 7 degrees out.  7 degrees folks, that's 25 degrees BELOW freezing.  It's 72% humidity out, all that dampness makes it even colder.  The only good thing is, with time I type a post........we're one day closer to spring.  Which in my opinion can't  come soon enough.  I truly detest winter, the snow, the ice, the cold.  With each year I age, I find my patience with winter becomes even less.

Karen always tags her hats with such cute size tags.  I encourage everyone to remember to tag your hats with size.  When they aren't tagged with size, I have to guess what size head they'll fit as do the the volunteers at the shelters in order to get it to the right area.  Tagging helps a lot.  Tags don't have to be artistic, or cleaver; but these cute little round circles do add to the gift.  And that's what our donations are, they are gifts.

These colors Karen has chosen are wonderful.  These are colors that work well for men or women

Thank you Karen and please keep up the good work, and know YOU make a difference in warming up a cold homeless person.

**The counts on our progress bars are current. 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.

  4. I suppose we shouldn't compare our work to others, but my loomed knit hats look wonky compared to those. Wonder if there's a trick???

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?
