Matching Crocheted Hat and Scarf Donated

Thank you Victoria P for this matching crocheted hat and scarf set!  This will be so appreciated by the person it keeps warm.  Our temps here have been well below average and many people are in need of warm items.  Got another request just yesterday from the Holy Family Soup Kitchen.  We just recently made a delivery there, which they were thrilled to get; but indicated they really are in need of more.

For those new to the blog, or perhaps folks who've not read about Holy Family before.  They feed thousands of people each and every week and pass out our warm items to those waiting for a hot meal.  Sometimes it's men, sometimes it's women, and sometimes it's whole families in need.  Currently, the largest need is for men.

Thank you Victoria, please keep up the good work.

Donating Hats and Scarves Keep Ohio's Homeless Warm

Victoria P from Arizona....YOU get the aware for awesome tags.  I think if you all click to enlarge the picture, you'll see why I say that.  She's tagged the items with size (nudging you ALL to please please do that), and she indicates it's washable yarn.  Scarves don't need to be tagged with size and when donated it would be paired with the hat which is nicely sized...but truly a super job here.  Love the pattern/texture in the rose colored hat....very nice.

Folks tags really are nice.  When I receive donations without size, I have to guess what size you made, and after I guess and put it in the adult or teen or child bag for delivery....the volunteers at the other end have to guess again when they shelf items.  When you cast on, you know what size you're making, or intending to make so please end the guessing and tag your hats, mittens, and slippers.  Tags can be store bought...you can buy a whole bundle of those little white tags with string attached, the can be scraps of paper tied with yarn or pinned with safety pins.  The tags above are typed and hole punched and tied with yarn.

Donating Matching Hat and Scarf

Thank you Victoria P from Arizona for this matching hat and scarf set.  What a fun mix of colors, some lady will be not only be warmer with this, but will be "stylin".  The hat I believe is made with front and back double or triple crochets, as it's nice and thick with a look of ribbing.  Click to enlarge folks so you can see the details.  

Please keep up the good work Victoria.

As you know May's focus is hats.  Please review the information in the hat tab across the top of the blog to be certain you're up to date regarding sizes, colors, fibers etc. needed to make our donations meet the need.
