Scarves and More for Those in Need

Thank you Cynthia B for this awesome donation.  As you can see she has been very very busy with her crochet hook.  Lots of wonderful scarves to warm those in need.  Please click to see all the colors.  In the center of the picture, you can see scarves layed out, while the top and left side the scarves are folded.  Did this in order to get them all in one photo.  I love the mix of colors making the scarves good for for men and women.

She's also included socks which is so necessary, and 3 cotton washcloths.

The year is winding down, and what a year it's been.  I think during these difficult times, all the donation you all have knitted and or crocheted have even more meaning to those that receive them.

Thank you Cynthia B, please keep up the good work and know you've made a difference in many lives.

Knitted Warmth Aids Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Laura E for this generous donation of knitted goodies.  As you can see our friend Laura E has been very busy.  She's knitted the always popular corner to corner cotton washcloth, the pattern most of know as Grandma's favorite.

She's included lots of person care items and socks, as well as Hats galore, plus scarves.  Please click to enlarge the picture so you can see the details.  Her personal care items include wipes, female products, soap, razors, and packages of band aides.  Great idea!

The hats have some interesting details so, please do check them out.  Special thanks too Laura for adding the size tags to all your hats.  Also, please notice how she's tied the matching scarves and hats together, what a nice touch.  As you read this post, I venture to say somewhere someone is wearing your hats and being warmer; as I have already delivered these items.

Many thanks Laura, and please keep up the good work.

More Afghans and Lapghans Donated to Homeless Families Foundation and Those in Need

AND...look what we've got here!  The next installment of Marsha M's afghans/lapghans.  This first one is crocheted side to side.  Nice and solid stitches.  What a fun mix of colors.  I am a bit limited in that I can only laundered 3 or 4 at a time and have room to spread them out to dry and block.  So this one is hanging over the side of the bed, which is why you can't see the end on the left.  Believe this is straight forward single crochets.  This stitch makes the afghan nice and warm because there are no holes.  Nice lapghan size, and the colors nice for a woman or a teen, I believe.

This second one is the big continuous granny square style.  I'm particularly fond of this color combination, as I've always like blue and green together.  I think since this is a bit darker, this one will work nicely for a male or female.

The 3rd one I think is ok for both male or female as well.  What do you think?  Again the one big granny style afghan with a fun mix of bright colors.

Bright and cherry, 6 large granny squares put together makes this afghan about the size of a twin I think, though I have it laying on a queen here; it's a nice size.  Definitely colors for a woman.  Through my SIL, this ghan was directed to someone who recently lost their home due to a fire.  What a terrible time to become homeless.  I'm sure this young woman will be comforted by this pretty afghan. 

AND....this big granny will work well for male or female, I think...don't you.  It looks rather patriotic, with a slightly different red, white and blue theme.

Many thanks Marsha M.  This brings us to #20 so far.......so please keep coming back folks to see what's in store.  This donation puts us over the goal for year which is very exciting.  Though some probably won't be processed and counted until early next year.  Now with Christmas decorations up, I've lost some space to lay things out to dry/block.

When I made deliveries the other day to Homeless Families Foundation, my car was really loaded.  Chad, my contact there was thrilled to see so many afghans and loaded bags of hats, scarves etc.  So please know folks how well received our donations are.  You truly make a difference.  

Keep up the good work Marsha!!
