Crocheted Cotton Wash Cloths for Homeless

Looks, we got more cotton washcloths!  These are crocheted by our friend, Anne G.  Look at the fun variety of sizes, styles, and colors.  AND check out the two cute little fish!!

As I mentioned in the preceding post, cotton washcloth make such a nice donation because they have multiple uses.  No, they don't keep anyone warm; but they do help with ones personal hygiene.   Cotton washcloths are much softer and nicer to the body then traditional washcloths, plus they make people feel special ...that's always nice.  Not only are they used in bathing, but also as dish cloths for those in home situations and are included in welcome home packs.

Many thanks and keep up the good work Anne.

Go Fish, Crocheted Donations

Thank you Anne G for this thoughtful donation of crocheted cotton washcloths and always needed poncho's.  We've had a much colder and wetter June here in Ohio than is normal so the poncho's truly are needed.  LOVE the nice selection of colors and sizes you made for the washcloths, and those cute cute fish........have never seen them before.  Can you share the pattern you used for them?

Please keep up the good work, and know how much your donations are appreciated.

Anne Crochets for the Homeless

Look how adorable these little mittens are! Had to get a close up picture for you. Anne G, our newest member sent a box full of lovely goodies the other day.
Hats, hooded scarves, and mittens. You know how excited I get when we get mittens. I bet you can see me clapping! She's got a wonderful selection of colors and lots of different sizes here. I was able to separate hats and mittens for the homeless under the Bridge (adult sizes), and some for the cold kids and Mom's treated at the two clinics. So many beautiful items here to warm and help so many. Anne G, you rock!

There never seems enough time to make as many things as we want or need; but we keep at it one day, one item, one stitch at a time. Remember YOU ALL truly are appreciated and YOU ALL do indeed make a difference.

Thank You, Thank You.
2 hooded scarves, 8 hats, and 15 pairs of mittens.

Many many thanks Anne and welcome to the group. We're happy to have you and your crocheted goodies.
