Donating Crocheted Cotton Washcloths


 Pretty, and bright, and cheery.  Look at this neat collection of cotton washcloths from our long time supporter, Sandie P from Louisiana.  Lots of variety in colors, sizes, and styles.  If I had to pick a favorite it might be a toss up between the pink and blue and or the yellow and green.  Remember you can always click on the picture to enlarge so you can see details better.  Interesting stitches, Sandie.  Care to tell us how you did that?  AND, look at the little blue one on the far right bottom.  I put it there, sorta by it'self so you all could see it.  It's double.  Wondering if there's a name for this pod like design?
 Here it is where tugged a bit at the 2 sides so you could see what I mean.  I bet that would make a great scrubby for the tub and or doing dishes.

Thank you Sandie, come again....soon.

Warm Scarves for the Homeless

Thank you Mary H from Ohio for these 7 crocheted scarves.  They're nice and warm and will be very much appreciated by those who wrap them around their necks.  We appreciate you're on going support and hope to see you here again soon!

With the end of January coming upon us wanted to let you know that February will continue to focus on feet.  We'll continue with our slipper focus and add socks.  Hope to get a working calendar up pretty soon folks, stay tuned.

**Remember folks you don't need to be a blogger to post a comment.  I really encourage you all to leave comments, it helps the blogs placement with search engines AND we all love the support of kind comments about each others work.**

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?
