Hats for Homeless

LOOK at these fabulous hats!  I love the design, the colors and everything about them.  Ear flaps add extra warmth, and they're very stylish.  Thank you Dannie L from Ohio this thoughtful donation, and thanks too for adding tags with size!  Click to enlarge the photo folks so you see the detail in these knitted hats.  Awesome job.  I wish my knitting skills could match this...maybe when I grow up, lol.  

As I type this scheduled post , we're once again expecting yet another snow and ice storm to hit Ohio.  We're certainly not the only state lined up to get slammed again with frigid temperatures, too many are.  These storms add more difficulty for our homeless.  Please keep them in your thoughts during these very difficult times.

Beautiful flowers above are for Dannie L. from Ohio.  Somehow I don't seem to have the picture of her thoughtful donation.  I have a note and know what she donated; but haven't been able to match it up with any of my photo's.  I don't know if I missed taking one or somehow it got deleted when transferring pictures from my camera to the computer for editing, posting etc.
Thank you Dannie63 (RAV) my note says you donated 11 cotton washcloths and 3 hats.  Many thanks and my sincere apology for no picture.

Edited to say...yippee, Dannie to the rescue.  Sent her a note and she had a picture of the cute hats.  Soooooooo, I am able to share with you.

Thank you Dannie.  I'm particularly drawn to the one with ear flaps, how cute.  Dannie is our newest pair of helping hands.  Thrilled to have you join us.  She's also already been helping to spread the word.  After re-connecting with a friend on facebook who crochets...teaches crocheting, as a matter of fact.  Very cool!  Many thanks Dannie.
