Grandma and Granddaughter Team Up to aid the Homeless


Thank you Janis F for this thoughtful donation of crocheted goodies.  Janet has hats of varying sizes here to fit a variety of head sizes, AND she's added nice size tags which helps everyone.  Helps those at the shelters get items to the right people and helps those receiving them get them easier and quicker.  She's included personal items, a package of those combo glove/mittens, and socks, and a totebag which will be handy for folks trying to keep their few things together ...whether they are living in the elements, or spending nights at a shelter.

I want to also thank Janis's granddaughter who's in the 10th grade.  Her granddaughter helps her with washing, and tagging some of the crocheted items, and uses her own money to purchase some of the personal care items.  Love seeing kids/teens get involved with helping others.  Well done, and what a nice team effort.  

As always, please click the picture to enlarge it so you can see the details.  I really like the textured stitches Janis used in her hats and it's nice to have a color variety as well.

Many thanks Janis and granddaughter, please keep up the good work and know you've made an important difference in the lives of those less fortunate. 

**The counts on our progress bars are current. All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.

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?
