Warming Homeless Heads with Donated Hats
Thank you Kathy G for this wonderful donation of cute cute hats. These hats are a variety of styles. Take a look, pretty cables, ear flaps, and a scarfy type hat style. All the hats are super soft, and warm. Nicely done and many thanks Kathy G.
Wanted to show you this one close up, this is one I called scarfy type. Comes down a bit on the neck and has ties. Isn't this cute! Did you wing this Kathy, or do you have a pattern you can share? Kathy's also donated several cowls and headbands.
Since February is a month to think about love, let's spread the love by finding new pairs of helping hands. If everyone could find one friend, one co-worker, one blogger, one family member, and or one Facebook/Ravelry friend to bring into the fold think about how much more love we could spread by way of our warm knitted, crocheted, loomed, and or quilted items! Talk us up. Some folks might like to help us, but be unaware of what we do. Please search someone out. Who do you know?

Sharing the Love Through Donations
**because I don't have a picture of the donation to share with you, thought I'd leave you this cute cartoon I saw on facebook, hope it makes you smile**
Thank you Kathy V from West Virginia for your thoughtful donation. I'm sorry to report folks, I don't seem to have a picture of her donation. I'm unsure if I forgot to take a picture before sorting and bagging to get ready for distribution...OR her picture didn't make the transfer from my camera to the computer. Kathy's donation was one of the large number I worked on after the special delivery from The Post Office after returning from my travels.
My apologizes Kathy for not being able to show off your work. She donated scarves, some personal care items, and a hat according to my notes. Please keep up the good 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.
