Potpourri

 I dumped squares to do some more designing the other day.  Reaching back into my mish mosh stash and came up with this.  As you can see, these are teeny little squares/circles of various sizes that I've had for quite some time.  Some, before I started Bridge and Beyond even.   Potpourri popped right into my head as a good name for this one.

 In years past folks would send their odds and ends, sometimes when a group disbanded or got things they couldn't work with, or that didn't mean their requirements with size and or color.  I'm not a fan of using lots of white because afghans get used so much and white gets dirty.  Taking an afghan to the laundromat probably not high on their list...though I have lots of white on hand, and can see this in white....leaning towards black or maybe blue to edge and join.  I might have enough shades of blue to make it work, but would need to purchase black...so will give this some thought before tackling this one.

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?
