Thank you AnneMarie D from New York for this lovely blue and white crocheted afghan. A very interesting stitch, not sure I know what to call it. This will work for men or woman, everyone loves blue.AnneMarie has been very busy with her crochet hook. Cotton Soap Sacks with soap inside them. This has become a new and rather popular thing. Click to enlarge and you'll see the soap sack tags. These are referenced in a side group through Warm Up America and are very useful. Nice variety of colors also. The darker blue will work well for the men folk, while the lighter colors are nice for the ladies.Look more awesome soap sacks! And knitted and crocheted hats, and crocheted cowls. Remember to click to enlarge the picture so you can the nice texture in her two cowls. Notice the knitted has are large enough to roll the brim up to make a really nice warm band. The gray stripes to the left of bright purple is rolled up, but you can the hats before being rolled as well. This design helps make this style hat size variable, which is super.Can you say hats Galore!! Some knitted, some crocheted, several different styles and sizes.....AND lots of different colors. Some suitable for men, some woman, and some can do double duty. WOW, and all nicely tagged with size. AnneMarie has truly been BUSY and then some.A bakers dozen (13). While many feel the number 13 is unlucky....I'm feeling pretty lucky to receive this donation and I'm certain anyone receiving one of these well crafted hats will feel lucky too. Again some are knitted, some are crocheted with a variety of styles, colors and sizes. I'm getting tired for AnneMarie with all this work she's done.
Wow, hope you're still scrolling with me here, because AnneMarie is still knitting and crocheting. More hats again with a huge variety, something to fit all heads AND she's also crocheted cotton washcloths, and a couple of scarves on top of that.
Folks I'm missing a picture, double checking my notes for my count there was another group of 32 hats. I don't know what happened to the pictures when I transferred them from my phone to the computer, but one picture is missing. Sadly once I transfer from the phone the phone to the computer they're deleted on my phone. Rest assured there were more fantastic hats of many colors and styles and sizes, both knitted and crocheted.
Many many thanks AnneMarie D from New York. You've warmed many people with your generous donation.
