Idaho oophs No Colorado! Donation

This donation of 3 small scarves, and 6 small hats for the younger set came awhile back. I've been searching trying to identify the Idaho knitter with no success through old emails, Ravelry, and Facebook. Believe the sizing will work for preschool age children so this thoughtful donation will go with the next delivery to The Homeless Families Foundation, or one of the free clinics we supply with donations of warm items.

Though I do have a last name on the envelope these were mailed in, often people don't use their real names as part of their email ady, so I'm at a loss to easily find who this knitter is. With our on line personalities we often use nick names on forums that don't match emails, that don't match our real names, so please folks remember to include a note letting me know who you are with your donations.

**Would the unknown knitter in Seattle Washington who from this POST, Please make contact so I know who you are for record keeping** Happy to say this one mystery has been solved. It's not Idaho, but Colorado and it's Nola who's on our list. Thanks for solving the mystery!

MITTENS........Mittens will be October's focus, and we never get enough of those. I know they're not the easiest things to make. We do have a few patterns posted folks. As you think about making mittens and or reviewing patterns...think about adding length to the cuff; helps make them warmer. Thanks!

All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated, and all donations keep someone warm. We help, one stitch at a time. YOU truly DO make a difference. THANK YOU!

Knitting from Nola

Knitted warmth and caring from Nola in Colorado. I love the feel of the yarn she used in the reddish, pinkish variegated scarf. It's really nice. And look how nice and wide it is, making it really nice and warm. Her hats look really tiny in the picture by comparison, but they are quite stretchy so really aren't as tiny as they appear. What's that saying you see sometimes on the mirrors in cars, items appear ...lol anyway, many thanks Nola for your knitted thoughtfulness for our homeless here in Ohio. They are greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to seeing you around frequently.
