Helping Hands from Illinois Help Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Karen J from Illinois for this awesome donation of crocheted hats and scarves.  Look at the nice variety both in color and in size of Karen's hats!  And special thanks for taking time to tag them with size.  I am asking everyone to do that, please and thanks.  It saves enormous time both at my end and again the time of the volunteers at the various shelters.

.  Keep up the good work, Karen.

**Folks, please take time to read the item specific tabs across the top of the blog; even for those of you who've been contributors here before.  Each tab has necessary information regarding size, colors, and fibers needed for items; as well as what to avoid.  There are also some patterns you might like to use.  If you have a favorite pattern, please sing out, I'm always adding new things.**
