SWEET Sweaters

WOW...when I grow up I want to knit as well as Phyllis. Beautiful, cute, warm knitted sweaters, (5), and 2 hat and scarf sets. I've posted a close up of the darling hooded sweater below. Phyllis you've made children not only warm with your craft; but stylish too! Your work is truly beautiful, and your thoughtful donation is very much appreciated. Phyllis sent warm wishes to us too, from her sunny state of Florida. I basked in the virtual sun....thanks Phyllis, I needed it.

I've been chanting melt snow all day long. Check back later and see how that worked. lol

Too cute Phyllis.

Need some help folks

Knitted Love

Knitted love = warmth! People taking time to knit and crochet something special for someone else is such an expression of love and caring. Trudy in Maryland has clicked her needles together and made these loving warm items to help the homeless and those in need. Many thanks Trudy your thoughtful donation of 5 hats and 2 scarves is truly appreciated.

The peach color is sooooooo pretty, makes me think of spring which I hope comes soon; as I'm very tired of this winter.

Hope to see you and your creative needles here often.

Warming Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Amy, another new pair of helping hands. We are so fortunate that so many new pairs of helping hands are finding us and being willing to join our cause and help our cold homeless here in Ohio. Amy crocheted 6 squares, 2 hats, and 2 pairs of slippers. All good things to help warm someone up in need. I missed Amy's squares earlier when I tried to get all the squares in for the final count...things that came while and right after I was out of town. So, will go and update our Give a Square page to reflect this new number.

Since all my posts are written and in que (in order to have a post each day), when you read this it might not be; but is snowing AGAIN, as I write this post. The need continues folks so please keep those hands busy with yarn and crochet hooks and or knitting needles. Together, we are indeed helping!

A variety of ways to warm people up

Thank you Stephanie...more new helping hands from the state of New York. Not sure, but you might be our first pair of New York helping hands. I've been trying to note where folks are from this year as donations come in. Thought it would be fun to know. So, if you've donated before and are on one of our lists here, and I don't have the state from you're from listed...sing out so I can add it. Please and thanks.

Soft, and a wonderful variety in colors with this donation, click to see better. Stephanie knitted and crocheted 14 hats, 5 neck gator (neck warmers), and 2 scarves.

Mufflers, Scarves What do you Call them?

I ran across the word muffler the other day and remembered hearing that term alot when I was younger. So, I wondered...what do you call them in your neck of the woods....the think you wrap around your neck?

Three knitted scarves and a hat from Eve in Illinois. The scarves are so nice and soft someone is going to love having them wrapped around their neck! Eve is our newest pair of helping hands. Thanks so much Eve for your thoughtful donations, they are greatly appreciated.

The smaller scarf on the right is such a neat color combination, brownish red....what yarn did you use?

Crocheted Scarf, every color possible.

I love all the colors in this ombre yarn. I think these colors work for adults or children, for males or females. Nothing fancy just good old double crochets using a H hook so there's very little space between. I like using smaller hooks to make items more solid and therefore warmer. This was a good take to work project. I could do a couple of rows here and there during lunch; and finished it up in the car while hubby and I ventured out of town recently in search of warmer weather. (some Hilton Head posts on my Travel blog). I like projects you don't have to worry much about counting or measuring when you're traveling. This nice warm scarf is large and will therefore be adult appropriate measuring 7 1/2 inches wide and 80 inches long. I like scarves large enough to be wrapped around twice for warmth, or used as a head and neck scarf at the same time (at least for women).

If memory serves me right this yarn ombre mix is very close to the colors I used way back in the day when I made my very first scarf. It was one of those little head scarves you tie under your chin. Anyone old enough to remember what I'm talking about? lol
