Hats for Homeless

Heads keep heads warm!  Hats for homeless or those living in shelters is a very important item to ward of the elements.  These lovely knitted hats are large enough for a good size man or women and will be very welcomed indeed.  Many thanks Linda W from Ohio for this thoughtful donation.

If you click to enlarge the picture (I often suggest you do that) you can better see the details and variety of styles of stitches Linda used.  The blue hat in the upper left will put a smile on some childs face.  It has a cute  brim.  Hope you can see the details in the picture.

Please keep up the good work  Linda.

Caring for Ohio's Homeless

I knitted scarf and 3 crocheted hats I've had laid aside some time back and just found...The fingerless gloves aren't as warm as nice mittens, but they can be helpful when trying to do something out side with your and need your fingers.  Guess I should check my project bags, and baskets more often, lol.

Another lousy picture colorwise......the dark hat is a pretty purple, but it sure doesn't show up that way.  Must check and see if the camera's setting's have somehow gotten messed with.

 Had a hard time with the light on the day this donation from Cheryl S was photographed.  Some of the lighter colors are washed out a bit, but you can see she's been very busy crocheting slippers...and more slippers...in lots of colors and sizes.........AND
A couple of hats, a neck gator and a mobius/infinity scarf, and a pair of mittens.  Cheryl's afghan is the previous post........if you missed it, please do scroll back and check it out.

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?
