Hats and Cotton Washcloths Aid the Homeless

Thank you Christine D for this awesome hand delivered donation.  

As you can tell, Christine has been busy with here knitting needles.  A dozen hats all different sizes, super stretchy so they really will fit a variety of head sizes.  They're supper soft and so nicely made.  They have already been delivered and could be keeping someone warm as we speak.  I made a scheduled deliver, wearing my mask to Homeless Families Foundation.  They were waring masks, and gloves and practicing social distancing as well.  We've had some cool nights so they were very happy to get this donation (had quite a few bags).

And she's also included 5 of everyone's favorite corner to corner cotton washcloths.  

Many thanks for thoughtfulness, and your special delivery.  Please keep up the good work.

Knitted Cotton Washcloths Always Helpful for Homeless

Thank you Christine D, fellow Ohioan for this thoughtful donation of knitted washcloths.  I LOVE the red-green mix.  Not sure I've seen that cotton before.  It's dark enough for the men folk!  Christine has also included a good supply of personal care items.  Cotton washcloths and personal care items are truly used all year long, doesn't matter what the weather is they are needed and appreciated by both those living in the elements, and those living in shelters.

Please keep up the good work Christine.  Special thanks for delivering them to my door.

Knitted Donations for Ohio's Homeless

Please enjoy this beautiful fall picture.  Though we seem well past the pretty stage here, and in fact leaves were very disappointing this year.  They weren't very colorful and they fell very quickly with rain and wind.  Some years though, they do look close to this.

I've  substituted this fall photo due to a malfunction when processing the photo of Christine D's lovely donation.  Not sure how, but when it transferred from camera to phone it was damaged and not useable. Thankfully I had my note about what she had made and how things she had made.  Her cotton cloths were knitted  with my personal favorite washcloth pattern, the ever popular corner to corner Grandmothers Favorite.  She had lots of fun colors, variegated mixed that I know will be truly well received.

Additionally she knitted and donated 10 hats and a scarf.

Many thanks Christine, am  so sorry folk I can share the picture with you all.
