let's Talk About Our Yarn, Knitting, and Crochet Addictions!

To gear up for the long a week-end, I'm passing along this really cute video.  It works for knitters and or crocheters.  Spotted it on facebook.  While you're watching this today, I'm posting goodies for you for the next several days, so please keep checking in.




Use the contact feature in the right sidebar and or send me an email to tell me your cutest, more fun, or interesting story involving our craft and yarn and your local yarn store.

Donations have been light and thus so have the blog posts, but we're gearing back up.

Sorry guess it wasn't there, just realized and added it again.  Hope you all enjoy it.

 All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.

Crocheted Donations Help the Homeless

Thank you Rose Marie for your on going support and thoughtful donation.  Rose Marie has crocheted cotton cloths, a matching hat and scarf set and a couple of headbands.  She's also included some personal care items which are always needed.  The washcloths, like the personal care items are used when people get an emergency night in a shelter and without, their used when they live in temporary shelter housing, and their used again when they move from the shelters into permanent housing in their "Welcome Home" packs.

Thank you!

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?
