Sharing a Smile While you Crochet or Knit

Saw this early the other day on Facebook, thank you Cheryl S for posting it and it started my morning off with a bang, so thought I'd share it with you all in hopes of putting a smile on your face.  How true this is of some many of you fine folk....someone should come up with a knitting appropriate one...hint hint.  Some of your more creative with words folks...sing out if you come up with something.

Hope you're all busy with yarn, needles, and hooks.  The need is great, and the weather has turned.  Trying hard to fill 2 requests we've recently gotten and would like to put a call out for an emphasis on things sized and color appropriate for Men...always our biggest need.

Thank you all.

Homeless Men Need YOU

A little humor for you to enjoy while you're busy knitting or crocheting or buying yarn to knit or crochet.

Hope you enjoy this, I did when I saw it on facebook a couple of weeks back and saved it to my computer.  Thought I'd share this with you while I get caught up posting pictures and writing blog posts from your donations.

We've had 2 requests in the last 10 days for items needed folks.  One from our friend Rae who feeds the homeless living outdoors (mostly men) on Saturday mornings.  She needs hats and scarves and mittens.  A delivery was made to her; but she is in need of more.  Donations suitable for men have been down....so asking everyone to kick it up a notch, please and thanks.  Please remember items should be solid to be warm, dark solid colors best (so not to call attention to themselves and not to show dirt), and large enough to an adult male.

In addition, we've received a request from Holy Family Soup Kitchen.  I'll be able to make a small delivery based on what came in since making the delivery to Rae; but in both cased more is needed.

Items needed:
Hats
Scarves
Mittens

All items listed above are links to those tabs with specifics, as well as patterns that might be helpful to you.  PLEASE measure your scarves folks, small scarves just don't work well for the men.  PLEASE tag ALL hats and mittens with size and pair your mittens with a tie or safety pin.
