Crocheted Donations from Wendy Help Homeless

Thank you Wendy H for your thoughtful donation.  Wendy's crocheted dish cloths, 2 cute little pink hats, a matching hat and scarf set (love the yarn), and a kitchen set with cloth towel.  Many thanks for your on going support Wendy, it's greatly appreciated.

Please keep up the good work.

April is coming to a close, May's focus will be hats.  Hats are needed for Men, Women, and children; not toddlers and infants.  PLEASE tag ALL hats with size.  When you tag your hats you do not need to be fancy, use string, yarn, or a safety pin when attaching your tag to your hat.  Please check hat tab for help with sizing, information needed, as well as what to avoid, thank you.

Peppermint and Spearmint Afghan Design

Will probably increase this afghan by adding a couple of rows of dark brown to the squares before joining.  I thought of mint looking at these squares, we've already a mint chocolate chip ghan, and with both the pink and the green...how bout Peppermint and Spearmint for the name?  If you have another idea, please sing out.  This ghan should come together very well since all the squares are uniform in size.

Been designing like crazy lately with the squares on hand, in case you missed that in the recent posts...do scroll back to see if you can find any of your squares.  With ample supply on hand, please hold mailing additional squares for the time being.  I need to free up some storage space folks, thanks!

Blue Sky Afghan Design

Blue in about every shade possible is shown above, and so I name this designed and waiting to be assembled afghan Blue Sky.  Is my friend, Sandie P out there...she loves blue so I thought of her when designing this one.  If you've missed the last handful of posts, you may not know I dumped squares in the living room and went at it again...designing like a made woman, bagging and tagging ghans to work on.  I probably will edge and assemble this with an ivory/beige.  Notice how many different sizes there are.  I still have plenty of squares from before I asked for 8 x 8 inch squares only.

I often do the traditional diagnal design when I have multiple squares of the same size or color; but with lots of variety I tend to like to spread the color around.  More patch worky...is that a word?  There's one lone knitted square above, others are sampler squares, and some are traditional granny squares.  Do you see any of your squares above?

**Folks a reminder to PLEASE PLEASE read the tabs across the top of the blog before you start working on your next donation.  Please notice what size and color and fiber requirements are.  Please avoid sending donations that meet those requirements.  We want to meet the need of those we're caring for.  If you have any questions about color, size, fiber, stitches zap me an email at sandycrochet@gmail.com, Thank You!**
