Slippers, a Wonderful Donation for the Homeless

SLIPPERS!  Look at these great slippers, so many different colors and sizes.  Wonderful donation from Susan H.  I see people with happy warm, dry feet and that makes me happy.  These slippers are knitted with double strand, so they are nice and warm and cushy.  They are really beautifully made.  I've told myself a dozen times this is a pattern I'ld like to try myself, somehow I've never gotten around to it.  

Slippers give people comfort in several ways.  If you're getting a night in the shelter you can change out of your socks (possibly when you're doing laundry) and slip into these comforting cozy sleepers for the night.  Likewise if you're living in the elements and your feet are wet and cold from the day outside...having a pair of slippers to change into can certainly make you feel better.

Foot health is hard for our homeless friends.  When your feet are so often cold and wet, it's easy to not have healthy feet, so having dry clean socks and or slippers to change into is truly a wonderful thing.

Thank you Susan for taking time to tag each pair.......such a huge benefit for getting these to people in need quickly.  Please keep up the good work and know you've made a difference in the lives of those who will receive your slippers.

**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.

  2. I've never made slippers. I made a sock once but I only finished one. LOL Maybe I'll try slippers soon. This is such a great bunch. Looks to be different sizes and colors for both men and women.

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?
