Crocheted Warmth for Homeless in Need

 Thank you Mary H for this thoughtful and warm donation.  Mary's crocheted and donated scarves and an afghan, granny style afghan of many colors.  The scarves are nice and big, both in width and length so folks can really wrap up and stay warm.  Particularly fond of your more solid dark colors.  These are always requested first by the men folk.
I wondered how many different colors were used in this afghan, and actually started to count, lol...then stopped, because as you can see............pick a color.........any color.  This ghan is nice and solid, tight stitches, so even with being granny style squares, it's not particularly lacy.  Great for added warmth.

Please keep up the good work Mary.

Knitted Hats and Mittens for the Homeless

Mittens, Mittens....yippee I'm clapping for mittens.  Our Dear Friend, Sandra R from Florida's done it again.  She makes such awesome mittens.  AND hats...but you all know I get doubly excited when we get mittens.  If only she could sit beside us all and teach us how to make them.  Lots of different colors and lots of different sizes in both hats and mittens to warm lots of folks in need.
As always Sandra, your work is so much appreciated.  Also extra thanks for tagging your hats and mittens with size.  You Rock!

Please keep up the good work Sandra.

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?
