Donated Yarn!!!!

Homespun and Bernat Illusions Yarn donated by Dear Bunny. Not 100% certain yet how I want to utilize your donation; got my thinking cap on and will keep ya posted when I make something from your thoughtful donation. Thanks bunches Bunny!

The Bernat Illusions is highly textured so I think it will work up better knitted vs. crocheted. Or at least that's my thought at the moment. lol We'll see how that goes.

Again many thanks!

Manly Scarf 2

I seemed to have lost the picture I took when this scarf was completed and it's already been passed along, so here it is when it was still on the needles. This is the 2nd black scarf from the yarn Darling Daughter gave (Homespun). It's a bit wider then the first scarf; and will probably be just a bit shorter as a result. Trying to do one skein scarf.

Here Come's Peter Cotton Tail....

Beautiful, beautiful as always. Bunny thanks so much for your continued support of the homeless and wonderful donations. The white hat is knitted as is the fun pink-purple scarf; and the other hats are crocheted. Bunny's work is always fabulous folks. Hop over to her blog (hehe, hop Bunny and it's Easter as I write this); and look at her wonderful creations.

Still haven't found Brodie Jo....would love to; anyone know this person?

It is finally warming up here in central Ohio during the day; but the nights are still cold. Most mornings I see frost on the ground; so your efforts to warm these homeless folks is still very much needed. Please keep looming, crocheting, and knitting. Busy hands are happy hands, and I truly appreciate each and every one of you and your happy hands!

Happy Easter

Better than an Easter Egg Hunt, warming the homeless!

No surprises here look at these hats and scarves crocheted by Sandie. The 2 ton green and black scarf is doubled..crocheted with 2 strans of yarn for extra warmth. Great colors and sizes. Everyday is like Christmas here when I open beautiful hats, scarves, and mittens from you all. Thank you, thank you Sandie as always we're lucky to have you help our cause.

I appreciate you all so very much, and I know all your items knit or crocheted with love and concern for others truly make an empack on those in need.

Thank you all for helping to warm the homeless, keep up the good work and Happy Easter.

Hey Knitters

For the knitters among us who want to try their hand at crochet, here's a very basic beginning. Everything in crochet is started with a chain stitch, so I found this video in case you want to give it a try. I found several actually; but many don't show and explain as well as I believe this one does.

Let me know if you want to give this a try. Next time I'll post the next step in crocheting which is the single crochet. The single crochet can be helpful to make an edge on anything you knit, regardless if you're knitting for yourself or for the homeless.

Luscious Loomers

Luscious Loomer. You might remember me calling Dear Karen and Frank that previously. Well....seriously. I can't think of a better word to described them. Look at these hats! Each picture is showing 25 hats. Look at all the creativity in colors and designs. Some are striped, some are solid, lots of fun combination's of color.
I am like a kid at Christmas when I open boxes from all you wonderful people. Some of you knit, some of you crochet, others loom and I'm in awe of you all. Every stitch, knitted, crocheted or loom for a hat, mittens, or scarves is beyond fabulous. Together we're making a difference in lots of lives.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please keep up the marvelous work.
