Knitted Donations for the Homeless
Thank you Sue W(SSeger) for your thoughtful donation and your ongoing support. Sue's knitted an awesome scarf and 8 corner to corner (probably Grandma's Favorite) cotton washcloths. I always feel warmer when I have a scarf about my neck and know how much this pretty, soft, warm scarf will be appreciated.
Keep up the good work Sue!

Donating Socks
Socks...socks are needed all year round. Cold, wet feet are not only miserable to have; but dangerous from a health standpoint. Nice, dry warm socks to change into may not seem like to you if you have a roof over your head; but it's HUGE when living outdoors, or shelter to shelter. Thank you Sarah S from Vermont these socks, slippers, cotton washcloths, and personal care items being donated are so very much appreciated. Please keep up the good work. Special thanks too for tagging your slippers with size!

Donating Crocheted Cotton Washcloths
Pretty, and bright, and cheery. Look at this neat collection of cotton washcloths from our long time supporter, Sandie P from Louisiana. Lots of variety in colors, sizes, and styles. If I had to pick a favorite it might be a toss up between the pink and blue and or the yellow and green. Remember you can always click on the picture to enlarge so you can see details better. Interesting stitches, Sandie. Care to tell us how you did that? AND, look at the little blue one on the far right bottom. I put it there, sorta by it'self so you all could see it. It's double. Wondering if there's a name for this pod like design?
Here it is where tugged a bit at the 2 sides so you could see what I mean. I bet that would make a great scrubby for the tub and or doing dishes.
Thank you Sandie, come again....soon.

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.
