More Mittens, Thank You Sarah

Thank you Sarah S. Fabulous warm mittens, 4 pair to warm hands for our homeless. A darling little pair of slippers, 2 pairs of socks to warm feet....always such a need. And look at the awesome personal care packages she put together for us. 6 personal care packages include a toothbrush, a tube of toothpaste, a bar of soap, and a crocheted wash cloth! Awesome. Everything is so truly appreciated. Sarah shared the pattern she used for these (and her previous mitten donation); which I've added above in the tabs. She altered the pattern by not using any of the triple crochets, she substituted single crochets instead. She indicated she often adds a row or two based on the yarn if she feels it's not coming out quite long enough.

MITTENS!!!

YIPPEE!! Our first 3 pairs of mittens received for the Mitten Challenge. They're fabulous! They're crocheted, their blue, and their from Sarah S from The Hive. The 2 solid colored mittens are crocheted with single crocheted around with ribbed cuff; while the variegated blue pair are made lengthwise using back stitch single crocheted (ribbing). All 3 pair are nicely sized and should fit a man or women in need. I'm soooooooooooooooo excited, I doing a little happy dance. You're probably lucky I'm doing here and no one is taking a picture. lol That way you can pretend I'm a good dancer.

Many thanks Sarah for your thoughtful donation. It is truly appreciated. I'm thrilled to say word of our need has spread to others since I've joined The Hive, and welcome any of you to participate in that forum. Click here for my link to do, if you're interested.
