Back when I was blogging in alphabetical order for the blog challenge, the post for Y was...Yarn Helps Homeless. Always nice to have folks go back and re-read or read for the first time previous posts.
Soooooo, it seems I've not come up with anything new for the letter Y. Before you is a picture of yarn...of yarn helping the homeless. What you don't see here in this picture is the rest of it, lol. I decided it was time to tame the stash and brought up every container and bag from the basement and sorted the stash based on color. It was sorted that way a few years ago, but with additional yarn being donated, my having bits and pieces left from projects, taking yarn out to use and finding it not quite the color I needed and it might not getting back in the proper place.......... it needed to be done again...........this yarn organization took almost a whole day.
Additionally, I was making up projects bags by laying out projects to work on and selecting the yarn needed to put it in one of my many project bags. I now ...drum roll...have filled 7 bags here in my office for 7 projects with the yarn necessary to complete them....all afghans. There's still plenty of yarn, and plenty of empty bags...but I was trying not to go crazy with the idea, lol
This afghan was designed sometime back from stripes someone sent that were too short and narrow to be scarves. They will be joined, and added to enough to make a afghan. I laid out green, rose, and tan for possible colors to edge and join...stay tuned for which one I ended up selecting.
**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.
That is going to be a very cheerful afghan and will make someone warm and happy! Your ability to combine colors and work from others to make an afghan is nothing short of amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the visit Lisa and the very sweet comment. Much appreciated.
DeleteThe Yearning to help has led to the purchase of much Yarn which Yielded so many scarves, hats and other items in the Yearlong effort to help the homeless. Love the many colored afghan, Sandy. (P.S. I got the picture thing again and it would not accept me no matter what I did so going google.)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and sorry to hear the picture thing is creating trouble again. I wish I understand how, since I have no monitoring on my comments. I have disabled that thing, I hate them. Sometimes when I try to comment on someone's page it takes me multiple tries to get the comment to post. Let me know if you find out anything.
DeleteI love how cheerful that afghan looks. I also like all the Yarn piles on the floor. Those will make nice afghans also.
