Knitted Donations for the Homeless

 Thank you Sue W(SSeger) for your thoughtful donation and your ongoing support.  Sue's knitted an awesome scarf and 8 corner to corner (probably Grandma's Favorite) cotton washcloths.  I always feel warmer when I have a scarf about my neck and know how much this pretty, soft, warm scarf will be appreciated.

Keep up the good work Sue!

Donating Socks

 Socks...socks are needed all year round.  Cold, wet feet are not only miserable to have; but dangerous from a health standpoint.  Nice, dry warm socks to change into may not seem like to you if you have a roof over your head; but it's HUGE when living outdoors, or shelter to shelter.  Thank you Sarah S from Vermont these socks, slippers, cotton washcloths,  and personal care items being donated are so very much appreciated.  Please keep up the good work.  Special thanks too for tagging your slippers with size!

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?
