Clapping for Mittens

Thank you Sally B.  Awesome mittens.  You know how excited I get when we get mittens.  We always need them.  These are awesome, soft, warm and so well made.  And Congrats to you.  Sally shared that she had made this with 4 needles...that would DP's (double pointed) for our non-knitters out there.  Something that's been on my list of things to learn for some time now.  I have purchased needles in order to practice, but that's as far as I've gotten.  Well done and keep up the good work Sally B.

Wish you were here sitting beside me to teach me...that would awesome.

Would love to have a summer gathering for anyone local or near by.  If you're local and or near by, please leave a comment and or email me at sandycrochet@gmail.com so I can begin to compile a list of people to notify as the time approaches.  I see a fun day of getting to know each other and getting some knitting/crocheting done at the same time.  Thus far, I believe I've heard Dodi, Sherry K., and Tristi K are interested.  Who else?

Cotton Washcloths for Homeless

Another dozen pretty cotton washcloths crocheted and donated by our long time friend and supporter, Sandie P from Louisiana.  Very nice mix of colors, bright and cheery.  Keep up the good work my friend.
Some folks have wondered why the cotton washcloth fad has become so popular.  Many reasons...

1. They're fun and quick to make
2. They're pretty
3. They're versatile, as they can be used as a washcloth for the body (which are really really nice), and they can be used as a dishcloth.
4. The shelters love them as use them when people are in for a night and have no means of clean up, they use them in their moving in kits (when they transition from shelter living to permanent housing).
