Clapping for Mittens!

Dorothy participates in Bev's Charity Challenge. She's also one of the winners of The Mitten Challenge, The Mitten Throw Down! You can certainly see why. Many thanks Dorothy for your thoughtful donation. 7 hats, 1 scarf, and 30 pairs of mittens.

Eight more hats from Dorothy from Wisconsin. Dorothy saw my post over in Bev's Challenge and responded. Thank you Dorothy! Your box of goodies arrived today on my way to work. I could hardly wait to open, photograph and post.

What a wonderful thing to have you join us.

Dorothy's hats are crocheted. I took one photo of the green one so you could see hats close up. A good variety in colors.




Be sure and check the post previous to this to see the scarves that came today from Dorothy, Bunny, and Frosty. Thanks to all.




Look at our counters! I'll get these to my sister-in-law tomorrow who will see Rae on Thursday night. Dang, I'm working again. Would be nice to deliver these in person...one of these times it will work out.




Keep stitching folks. Each hat, and scarf DO make a difference.

Dorothy ...not from Blogger Team, Thank you for the 4 beautiful scarfs





2 black scarfs (one with flecks), one pretty bright yellow scarf, and one green scarf. These 4 scarfs are crocheted. I love the stitch and need to find out what stitch Dorothy from Wisconsin used.

FROSTY....what yarn did you use in this super warm, thick and soft reddish scarf? It's knitted I know, but ohhhhhhhhh the yarn. Frosty's from the Ravelry Team.
And, Bunny with the warm green, pretty blue, and multi blueish scarfs! You are all soooooooooooo awesome. Hugs all around. Beautiful work, nice yarn, and most importantly...what beautiful hearts you all are. YOU, make me proud. Proud in knowing that people do care.
HUGS!! And now the scarf counter has jumped from 1 to 9. How awesome is that!!!
Since I last posted, 8 more people can be warmed with these scarfs!!!!!!!


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?
