Hats from Baby Love Ministry in California

Hats......hats  of many sizes and colors knit and crocheted with love from St.Halena, California.  Baby Love Ministry has gifted us these wonderful hats with a note saying it gets colder in Ohio than here in California.  I was  contacted by their Founder and Dierctoer Joan Rocha at Grace Episcopal Church.

This church group's ministry to help others is truly heart warming.  Thank you Joan, and please give our sincere thanks to all in your group.  What a wonderful thing to get together as a group and serve others.

We here in Ohio, where it's currently dark, cold and very damp truly thank you.  Those in need who receive your hats will be thrilled!

Please keep up the good work.

Diagonal Crocheted Afghan Donated

I LOVE the colors and design of this crocheted afghan.  The afghan crocheted on the diagonal is really interested.  This awesome afghan was crocheted and donated by our good friend, Barbara F from New York.  The size and colors of this ghan make it suitable for either men or woman.  I believe she's used a shell type stitch.  These are colors that will fit in with almost any decor, in my opinion.

Please keep up the good work Barbara, and again many thanks for your thoughtful donation.  The person or family who receives this will be very happy...and warm.  Surely they will feel the love that went into the making of it.

I'm hoping for maybe another round of Indian Summer, but I'm afraid it's official, summer is truly past and fall and the cold winter loom ahead.  Cold, wet conditions are so hard on folks without a roof over their heads, please do what you can to help our homeless friends.

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?
