Crocheting to Help Homeless

Thank you Sarah S.  You and your crochet hook have been busy.  Folks if you missed it, scroll back a post to see the other portion of Sarah's donation!

Sarah and her hook have crocheted scarves, hats, and cotton washcloths.  Whew.....  The scarves are really nice size, large enough to wrap around and provide more warmth.  She's also included personal care items. Such a nice variety of colors in the cotton washcloths, something for everyone here Sarah.

Many thanks and please keep up the good work.  We appreciate all you do, and I know those who receive your goodies also.

Bright Desert Afghan

Bright Desert when it was designed.  The picture is a bit light.  Several types of squares here from several different pairs of helping hands.   Most are squares worked in the round, but the bright blues are squares worked side to side.  I love the variety you get with different kinds of squares, different textures, and size sometimes too.

  Thank you Sarah S!  Bright Desert turned out GREAT!  So, this is the after, after Sarah worked her magic with edging and joining.  And as you can see pictures taken in different light always makes the colors vary.

Wanted to take a couple so you could see it from a different angle.  Colors in the desert are ever changing, based on the light and the time of day, this afghan really brings that thought home to me.  Some think there's no color in the desert, but I've seen lots of variances from our camping and hiking days in the desert.......when we were younger.

Beautiful job Sarah, we truly appreciate you're helping hands!  Keep up the good work.  The folks that receive this ghan are going to be thrilled.

Go Fish, Crocheted Donations

Thank you Anne G for this thoughtful donation of crocheted cotton washcloths and always needed poncho's.  We've had a much colder and wetter June here in Ohio than is normal so the poncho's truly are needed.  LOVE the nice selection of colors and sizes you made for the washcloths, and those cute cute fish........have never seen them before.  Can you share the pattern you used for them?

Please keep up the good work, and know how much your donations are appreciated.
