Knitted Donations from Texas for Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Maria R from Texas for this knitted donation of hats, scarves and mittens.  And as always...I'm now dancing in the streets.  You know how excited I get folks when we mittens.  Mittens are one of those items we never get enough of.  There aren't in many of our wheel houses with regards to the skill or comfort in making them.  

Awesome solid colors too!  The brown and gray,so nice for the men folk, and the blue scarf ...color wise would work for either, but I think it's sized more for a female.  Additional thanks  for tagging the hats and mittens with size.  The tagging for size is something we encourage everyone to do for hats, slippers, and mittens.

Please keep up the good work.

Donating Lavender Afghan

 Look at this awesome crocheted afghan Maria R from Texas donated!  I love the design Maria, very pretty!  It's sized so someone can really cover up with this and feel both physical warmth and loved.  It was such gloomy day when this picture was taken the true color just isn't showing up.
Here's the real color.  See how pretty!  I kept moving it around the house to try and get more light.
The indoor lights just weren't helping, so here it is on my dining room table by the large glass door...the best I could do to get some natural light so you could see the true color and still keep it dry (rainy day).

Many thanks Maria for this thoughtful donation, and please keep up the good work. Folks be sure and pop back in, this wasn't all Maria crocheted and donated.

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?
