Clapping for Knitted Donations for Ohio's Homeless

 WOW and then some.  Our long time friend and generous supporter Sandra R from Florida has done it again.  Look at these awesome sets of matching hats and mittens for the kiddo's!  She's knitted a variety of sizes and colors that will put a smile on lots of little faces, as  well as keep them warm.  Sandra you are awesome!  You know how excited I get every time we get mittens, well this is truly a bonus...matching hats and mittens.......ALL nicely tagged with size.  AND she's included always needed personal care items.
AND.......at this point we need to ask, Sandra do you sleep, do you eat?  How do you accomplish so much........I'm in awe, you truly most knit with lightening speed!!  I LOVE LOVE this Log Cabin Style knitted Afghan.  It's gorgeous, and truly so well made.  I love the colors suitable for anyone.  Awesome work Sandra R.

Folks you might remember awhile back my posting about a few pictures that I knew where here on my computer, but had gotten transferred to a wrong folder and I've been hunting them.  These are the last two!  I'm soooooooooo thrilled to have found them and be  able to share with you.

As always Sandra,keep up the good  work.  Folks, remember you can always click pictures to enlarge to better see the details, and I really do suggest you do that.

Thank you Sandra...YOU ROCK!!

Love, and Time for Knitting

There have been so many cute knitting and crocheting t-shirts of late...we could have a whole wardrobe of them.  Really like this one, don't we  all need more time!  It just seems to flash forward so much quicker than ever before.  And here we are with truly fall weather and then some, summer Zipped by. Was only 50 this am at 7 and has only climbed a few degrees since then.  I hope that doesn't mean it's going to get colder quicker than normal.  Got my  toes and fingers crossed.

How is it in your neck of woods folks?

Knitted Donations from Texas for Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Maria R from Texas for this knitted donation of hats, scarves and mittens.  And as always...I'm now dancing in the streets.  You know how excited I get folks when we mittens.  Mittens are one of those items we never get enough of.  There aren't in many of our wheel houses with regards to the skill or comfort in making them.  

Awesome solid colors too!  The brown and gray,so nice for the men folk, and the blue scarf ...color wise would work for either, but I think it's sized more for a female.  Additional thanks  for tagging the hats and mittens with size.  The tagging for size is something we encourage everyone to do for hats, slippers, and mittens.

Please 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?
