Knitted Cotton Washcloths, lost and found.

It pays to clean up one's yarn stash and projects bags from time to time.   The last time I did that I found several scarves I had knitted and had forgotten about.  The other day again organizing and cleaning up project bags I found these 3 knitted cotton washcloths stuffed in with left over yarn from other completed projects.  If you're like me, you have items you carry around in project bags to work on in between things.........at lunch at work, in the car on a road trip etc.  Unsure how long ago I finished these, but glad I found them and can add them to our donations.

The orange cloth has a paw print on it, but it doesn't show up real well, I do remember being excited when I found the pattern, and disappointed it didn't show up much.  Perhaps a different color would work better?

Not only was it nice to find these items, but my office looks nicer now with things more organized.  A win win for sure, lol.

Knitted Loomed Hats Keep Homeless Heads Warm

Knitted hats loomed by Barbara H from New Hampshire will be surely appreciated by 9 more people who will now have warm heads as a result of thoughtful donation.  These hats are nice and think, and soft!  Nicely done Barbara, we're happy to have your helping hands.  I particularly like the 2nd hat in the top row...like that color combination, and I can see a young girl loving that purple one in the lowe left corner........something here to please everyone's personal choice of colors.

Many thanks and please keep up the good work.

Crocheted Donations from Oregon Help Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Karla T from Oregon for this thoughtful crocheted donation.  LOVE the nice darker colors you used for scarves for the men folk!  Click the picture folks to see she's crocheted scarves and mobius/infinity scarves.  Some really nice texture also in the brown and orange scarf.

Scarf make such a difference in cold damp weather and are a wonderful item for anyone living out in the elements, as well as those living at shelters who often spend the bulk of their day outside waiting until it's time to get a night inside.

Please keep up the good work Karla, it's very much appreciated.
