Crocheted Donations Always Make Me Smile

Thank you Barbara F for your thoughtful donation of crocheted goodies and personal care items, AND yarn!  Very nice.  We appreciate your on going support and know your donation will be well received.  Barbara was recently on a business trip and saved her soap, shampoo's and lotions etc from her hotel room...that always a nice way to donate personal care items.

Keep up the good work Barbara!

Where does time go folks, goodness the month of June is flying by.  We're still having some cool nights and mornings here, not at all typical for this time of year.  We've spent alot of time opening and closing our windows, putting on fleece until the chills leaves in the morning...so do hope you're all still busy knitting and crocheting.  If you've not yet had a chance to make slippers...there's still time, please check the slipper tab for necessary information.  AND remember you can make slippers other times as well, not just for this month that it's a focus.

Sharing Stories About Knitting and Crocheting

We've been enjoying reading stories from some of you who donate your knitting and crocheting for Ohio's Homeless and others in need.  If you've missed any, here's a chance to catch up on the fun, cute, and sweet stories about how folks learned their craft.

My story about Knitting and Crocheting is Here.

Sandie P's crochet story is HERE

Marjorie M's story is HERE

Sherry K's story is HERE

Tristi's story is HERE

Sorry this picture is so blurry folks, but I took it from my yard as the sunset was waning using the zoom as far as it would go on my camera.  I thought the cross against the soon to be night sky was cool.  This is far enough from my house you couldn't through a ball that far, it's farther then a football field and is a block away and a street over to give you a feel.  It's not a scene we see often either, as the trees really fill in it's blocked out.

Where's your story?  I know you all have one.  Who taught you to knit or crochet?  How old were you?  Why did you learn?  We want details.  Send them my way via email sandycrochet at gmail.com and I'll share it so we can all enjoy it.

**There's still time left in June to focus on slippers, but for those who like to look ahead.  Mittens will be our focus for July.  I've added a few months to our working calendar, please check it out.  Some of you may remember we lost our whole page of mitten information and patterns.  Please send me links and or patterns (that don't break copyright issues) so we can rebuild our mitten page.**
