Knitting in Florida Warms Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Sandra from Florida for this awesome donation of warm knitted mittens and hats.  What a nice variety of sizes and colors to warm lots of folks here in cold Ohio.  Thank you also Sandra for nicely tagging items with size.  Everyone always appreciates that.  It saves time for me and for the volunteers and workers at the various shelters.

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.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
