Hats and Scarves oh My


Welcome Trudy folks, she's one of our newer members. The gold hat is knitted and the other items are crocheted. Wish you could see the knitted hat better. Shoot, the picture didn't show up well. It had a nice design. I would re-photograph, but have already forwarded these items. I'm making deliveries more frequently right now because of the extreme temperatures, I want these folks to get warm items as quickly as humanely possible. The colors in the 2nd photo are a bit off, as the rose pink and green set is the same rose pink as in the other other picture. Photo's were taken with different light. And as you see, it made a difference.

Thanks bunches Trudy for these hats and scarf sets. They will be distributed at the clinic. Those kids/teens and their Mom's freeze and I know they'll be thrilled to have something warm to wear.

Looking for Becky P, can you help?

Thank you Becky. Three cute knitted hats and a crocheted scarf. These will go to the clinic and keep some kids warm. I particularly like the larger of the 3 hats, such unusual yarn and colors. Does anyone know Becky? She didn't send her email, or her on blogger ID and I can't find an email from her to know whom she is to thank her. The note in the pouch was written with a fat marker and is hard to read/think it got smeared a bit. I believe Becky is from the state of Washington? I've looked through RAV members but haven't found her in the Bridge group there.

Hoping Becky see's this and lets me know whom or where she is.

Many thanks Becky.

Please keep knitting and crocheting folks, it's bitter cold here, was only 2 degrees when I got up yesterday morning. My widget isn't working today, so not sure how cold it is right now; but my house still hasn't warmed up and I'm wearing a scarf indoors....does that tell you how cold it is here.

Socks for cold feet

Deciding it was time to straighten and clean out my draws a bit. Did a couple of hubby's draws awhile back and never got around to doing mine. These 11 pair of socks were making my draw too crowded; so sending this in the next pouch for the ladies under the bridge.

Hoping to have some more scarves done in the near future.

What a haul!


The box from June M in Michigan overflowed! Socks always are needed (14) pairs, mittens (3), scarf (1), 5 sweatshirts, down type vest, 4 flannel shirts, 3 pr heavy hunting type socks, and 8 packages of soap wrap in a wash cloth in their own zip lock bag! I love the way you wrap those, sorry it doesn't show up real well in the photo. Very nice, personal care items are always in short supply. June you made my day and think how many people we can warm with your generous and thoughtful donation. It's so cold right now June I'm gonna rush this delivery; those folks under the bridge really really need these items.

Many thanks

DOES ANYONE KNOW A BECKY P FROM WASH? GOT DONATION WITHOUT EMAIL OR COMPUTER ID NAME, THANKS

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?
