Afghans a Plenty being Donated

 Thank you, thank you Cheryl S.  I like funky and different, so this afghan makes me smile.  If you remember folks, I said stay tuned....there's more when I posted the first part of Cheryl's donation HERE
 I love all the different varigated's put together like this and would never have thought to do so.  You are soooooooooo creative!  The diagonal shells is so pretty.  I love the color combination.  I love how bold this is.  It also has a look of Buckeye Country which will be a big hit.
And who doesn't like jewel tones together!  WOW, Cheryl, I hope you're catching up on your eating and sleeping after crocheting these wonderful afghans!!!

Awesome job, truly.  Please keep up the good work.

Donations from Otterbein's Stitches to Share

This wonderful donation comes from many hands.  A group called Stitches to Share at Otterbein College in Westerville knitted, crocheted and collected this donation.  Students, and faculty gather in library on campus to knit and crochet for charity.  They spread their donations out among lots of different charities.  They teach folks to knit and crochet as well, so even if you think you can't help...they bridge that gap by teaching their crafts to others.  In addition they often have donated yarn they share with those wanting to join in.

I meant Penny S at an agreed upon location to collect this donation from her.  I appreciated her suggestion to meet up, it saved me from driving there.  Plus, it's always nice to meet like minded people.

Many thanks Penny and Stitches to Share for this thoughtful donation.  Please keep up the good work!

The Final Stages of Blue Horizon

Am about half way through the final section of Blue Horizon, think when I counted I have about 20 more rows to knit then do the long binding off.  Binding off afghans always seems to take forever, so many stitches on the needles.  Then will get this afghan laundered and blocked...and continue on with the other 2 I've been working on.

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?
