Knitted Mittens so Adorable

This is post #644, can you believe we're almost to 650!

Cute x 2. Look at these cute little knitted mittens for small hands donated by our friend Susan S in St. Louis. Aren't they adorable! Her note indicates she was using up some small balls, but they look like they were made "special".

Amazing what talented caring people can do. You all amaze me each and everyday when I open mail.

Many thanks Susan for your thoughtful donation, 2 children will be happy to have their hands warm and look cute!

Friendship, Knitting, and Charity go Hand in Hand

This post #600!!! How cool is that?

Friendship and knitting and charity go hand in hand. I've seen this dynamic played out all over the net with groups on RAV, groups on The Hive, groups on Crochetville, groups on yahoo and certainly in blogging. People gather together with a common bond, the love of knitting/crocheting, the desire to help others, and friendships are formed....over and over again.

This batch of knitted cotton wash cloths comes from a face to face group where friendship, knitting and charity go hand in hand. Thank you Barb, Peggy, Janice, and Susan in St. Louis, Missouri for your thoughtful donation. These will be put to good use. The 2 family shelters, The YWCA and Homeless Families Foundation are always thrilled to receive these, as is The Faith Mission Shelter. Many thanks, hope to see you ladies here on often.
