Loomed Hats and Wrist Warmers Aid The Homeless

Thank you Anna W for this awesome donation!!  Anna and her loom work wonders.  Loomed hats are always nice and thick, so nice and warm.  They have a double band which is great for keeping ears warm.  AND special thanks for taking time to label each hat with size.

Her wrist warmers are long then some patterns and as a result really help with warm.  They come well up the arm and cover the hand to to about the knuckle area.  They have the nice double band like the hats, so stay up nicely on the arms.  

Wonderful color choices Anna.  These nice dark colors really help when folks don't have the ability to do laundry, as they don't show the dirt easily.  These colors are also great for our men folks, but still work for woman as well.  Remember folks, homeless people don't like to stand out, so dark colors vs bright colors really are better for them.

Scarves for The Homeless

Thank you Amelia L for these crocheting and donating these two scarves.  These scarves were part of her earlier donation of cotton washcloths, click here.  These scarves will work well for men or women, given their color.  Please click to see the detail in the different stitches she used.

The earlier post was listed as an anonymous donation, which was an error on my part.  I had misplayed the note that accompanied the donation and cleaning a few things off my desk found it!  YIPPEE, can now properly document her lovely donation.

Many thanks Amelia and please keep up the good work.

Thank you Christina for your Donation to Aid The Homeless

Such a fun and colorful donation of knitted goodies from our friend, Christina D.  These were delivered to my doorstep.  Look at all the nice color combinations in her corner to corner (Grandm's favorite) cotton washcloths!  Click to enlarge so you can see all the colors, the fun variegated mixes.  These cloths have several purposes and are always so well received by all who receives them.

AND, while it might be summer and hot across the country, wet nights can still be uncomfortable and cold for those living out in the elements, so hats are needed all year long.  Certainly less in terms of numbers in the warmer months, but still they get used.  Those that aren't used for current purposes are stocked at the shelters so when weather turns they are prepared and not caught off guard.  That's why we collect and donate all year long, and not just in the colder months.

Nice hat colors that will work for both men and women.  

As always, many thanks and please keep up the good work and know what a difference you make in the lives of those less fortunate.

Woot Woot...did you notice this donation of cotton washcloths puts us just over the half way mark to our goal!!
