I am THRILLED to see how many people we've been able to keep warm during these cold, wet, snowing, months in Central Ohio. We're having Spring...flowers are coming out with the sun during the day.........NIGHTS, still a different story. We're still having freezing temperatures at night; though are looking forward to that coming to an end. PLEASE keep knitting and crocheting. Anything not working for our men under the bridge will be used for those at the free clinic (women and children). AND....any items not needed at the clinic will be available for the next season. Fall can come fast and cold here in Ohio.

My sincere thanks, once again for so many kind and caring people!

Unknown Person in Seattle Washington

knitted mittens, hat, gator, scarf
Wayyyyyyyyyy behind posting updates and pictures and adjusting our numbers folks. I keep trying.


Some wonderfully nice soul from Seattle Washington sent 4 pair of socks, a blue vest/neck warmer combo garmet (which I really really like and think is something I'll put on my list of things to make), pair of brown mittens, an adorable pink hat for some lucky little girl, a beautiful brown and blue hat, and a blue and burgundy scarf
I don't know if the person just forgot to put their name in, or if they wanted to be nameless. Always makes me uncomfortable not to be able to thank someone. Even if they don't want their name here, I would love to send email letting them know their package arrived and is appreciated. So..........if anyone knows who this person is, please sing out. Items are knitted, so we're in search of a knitter from the state of Washington.


Barbara.......hugs for sending the flannel shirts along with your hat, what a wonderful donation. Thanks so much for caring and helping us with this project. So sorry it took me so long to get this posted.

Thank you all for helping to warm these folks so in need.



***I'm please to report who our mystery knitter is, Thanks Dyanne (bowcolors on RAV) for the email. And thanks for the wonderful donations.

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?
