Ipad Failing Pictures, and Crocheting for Homeless

Sorry I have no pictures for you folks.  Using my ipad, and although I do have pictures, I'm not able to post them here for you.  I didn''t know that.  When you try to add pictures, as you would on your computer you do not get the browse option in order to select pictures you have right here on your ipad.  That seems silly to me.  I've got just 3 seams left on the daisy ghan ad so wanted to share the progress with you.  I am very much a newbie with my ipad, so if an of you can tell me how to post said pictures...please sing out.  I tried a cut and paste, but that  didn't work either.  Sommeone on facebook suggested I load it to an on line storage area and then use the url of the picture to post.  I tried that with pisca albums...a free on line storage for photo's area, but had no luck either.

Argh....the learning curve is frustrating me a bit.  Meanwhile, I hope to finish the ghan very soon, hope I have enough yarn with me for the edging...if not, that will wait.  Next up in a red scarf for the kiddo's.  As most of you know we're focusing on the needs of kids for the months of January and Febuary.  Please look at the top of the log, there's a tab for hats, scarves, mittens, and slippers.  Each of those tabs takes you to information about size, color, fiber etc.  I attempted to post links here, but apparently I'm linked challenged also....here on m ipad.

The temps around the country have been horrid lately, even in some traditionally warmer areas.  Please stay safe, and warm wherever you are, and remember......yarn, don't leave home without it!

All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.

Kids Need You

KIDS...kids we don't know are in need.  Think of the children in your life, your own, your grandchildren, nieces and nephews.  Think of the kids that live next door...their sweet faces could be here.  Kids of all ages, toddler to teen are cold and in need of our help.  We've just recently posted our totals for the year of 2013, and sadly our numbers of warm hats, scarves, mittens, and slippers are down from the preceding year.  We've had requests from several schools as well as shelters that they need help in supplying warm items for the kids in their care.

So, while the month of January is partly over, let's make the duration of the month and the month of February focus on kids in need.  We need warm knitted and crocheted hats, scarves, mittens, and slippers.  If you're able and want to make sweaters, and vests that would be awesome too.

Remember even a single hat will allow a school child to join his or her friends on the playground at school recess and not be singled out staying in due to lack of warm clothing when others are outside running and jumping as all children should be able to do.

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?
