Scarves for The Homeless


Thank you Amelia L for these crocheting and donating these two scarves.  These scarves were part of her earlier donation of cotton washcloths, click here.  These scarves will work well for men or women, given their color.  Please click to see the detail in the different stitches she used.

The earlier post was listed as an anonymous donation, which was an error on my part.  I had misplayed the note that accompanied the donation and cleaning a few things off my desk found it!  YIPPEE, can now properly document her lovely donation.

Many thanks Amelia and please keep up the good work.

A Bakers Dozen Donated

I'm probably aging myself here, but anyone else remember the saying a "bakers dozen?"  

Well, I did a google search and this is what I got:
Baker's dozen means 13, instead of 12. The tale behind its origin is that a mediaeval law specified the weight of bread loaves, and any baker who supplied less to a customer was in for dire punishment. So bakers would include a thirteenth loaf with each dozen just to be safe.

So there you have it.  In this anonymous donation of 13 cotton washcloths I couldn't help but think of that saying.  As you can see there's quite a bit of size variations in this donation so, some will work for the younger set, and by color some will work for men, while others perfect for the ladies.

Cotton Washcloths have several uses, so these are always well appreciated by those who receive them.

Please keep up the good work, and if you didn't intend on this nice donation being anonymous, please sing out to me, either here on the blog via a comment...or use the contact form on this blog, or email me.

Many thanks!

**Edited to say this nice donation was from Amelia L, and was dropped off at my door.

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?
