Hats for Homeless

Heads keep heads warm!  Hats for homeless or those living in shelters is a very important item to ward of the elements.  These lovely knitted hats are large enough for a good size man or women and will be very welcomed indeed.  Many thanks Linda W from Ohio for this thoughtful donation.

If you click to enlarge the picture (I often suggest you do that) you can better see the details and variety of styles of stitches Linda used.  The blue hat in the upper left will put a smile on some childs face.  It has a cute  brim.  Hope you can see the details in the picture.

Please keep up the good work  Linda.

Knitted Donations for Homeless

Thank you Linda W. from Ohio for this thoughtful donation of knitted hats and slippers for our cold, homeless and those in need here in central Ohio.  Linda has also included personal items, which are always needed and appreciated by those living under the bridges, as well as those in the shelters.  Special thanks for taking time to add size tags to your hats.  

As of the writing of this scheduled post it's 20 degrees here in central Ohio, feels like 11.  And we're hopeful if the sun comes out today (as promised), we'll manage to get this snowfall melted........before it snows again tomorrow.  Would be nice to at least get a fresh start and not have snow piled on snow.  Spring is "officially" 31 days and 6 hours away; though we'll continue to have about 2 more months of cold weather here or more.  Frost is a danger until after Memorial Day, so please don't slow down with the knitting, crocheting and donating folks...the cold homeless are still very much in need.

Reminders:
**Please remember to tag all hats with size, as well as mittens and slippers**
***Please remember to avoid white, tan, beige and light colors that easily show dirt***
****Please remember to include a note with your name and email addy with your donations****

Hats for Heads Help the Homeless

Thank you Linda W from Ohio for this wonderful donation of knitted hats!  Hats to fit adults and one for a child as well.  Really like the one pictures lowered left with the wide stretching ribbing...helps to fit different sized heads.  Very nice!!

Please keep up the good work Linda, warm heads make such a huge difference in someone's comfort, even in the cold outdoors.  It's currently 34 degrees, but feels like it's 26 degrees with the wind chill, so hats are most definitely needed and very much appreciated.
