Rusty Nail Afghan in the Works

 Here's Rusty Nail in it's previous stage when you saw it with 2 rows joined but not attached.

It's growing now with another row joined and then attached (top 2 rows).  Working on the sizing for 3rd row with the 4th row there to aid in the guide which is joined but not attached.

And here with row three almost completely joined.  Looks like I need to make another square, or check my stash to see if I have one I can slip in.  It's always very hard to tell how much the knitted squares will grow once edged.  See the 5th one in the 3rd row in the 2nd picture.  It has some cool detail in texture design, just needed to be stretched  out with the crocheted edging.  This photo is a bit dark and it's very gloomy outside and even with lights on inside, it's hard to get the colors exactly right in the photo.

What are you all working on?  Our  homeless friends need your help.

**psss did you see the fun yarn bowl above?  The tangerine square is still being edged and the yarn is in my yarn bowl.  This is the yarn bowl I painted with my Darling Daughter.

Donating Personal Care Items Helps the Homeless.

Personal Care Items and coffee packs I collected from a recent trip.  The personal care items are always needed by all the shelters, as well as those under the bridges living in the elements.  The coffee packs will go to our friend Rae who prepares hot meals for those on the streets on Saturday mornings.

Folks this is a good way to help, when time is tight and you're not crocheting or knitting, or perhaps you don't knit or crochet at all.  Everyone can donate personal care items.

Crochet Afghan Donated to Homeless Families Foundation

 Thank you Barbara F for this lovely corner to corner crocheted afghan.  What great colors, suitable for male or female, adult or teen.  Wanted to show you two views so you could get a good look at it folks.

And don't be mislead by that bit of sunshine coming in the window.  It's been in very short supply here in Central Ohio.  We've had two mornings in the last week that were 24 and 26 degrees when I got up in the morning.......so the sunshine is truly misleading on the weather.

Thank you Barbara for this thoughtful donation.  Whatever families receives this beautiful afghan at Homeless Families Foundation will be thrilled.

Please keep up the good work.
