5 Afghans and Counting, for Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Marsha M for this generous donation of afghans and lapghans.  As you can see, Marsha has been very very busy.  She's been working on these ghans for a good long while.  I picked up a full car load from her.  Seriously, a full car load.  Not going to tell you yet how many.  Will be sharing them with you and counting them as I get them laundered and blocked.  These pictures are in fact as they are laying about the house drying and being blocked.  This large granny square has a center block and works out from there.  Please click to enlarge so you can see all the colors.

AND this one is such a fun bright variegated yarn.  Some teen or adult woman is going to love this color.  It reminds me of roses, which also reminds me of summer and warmer weather.  Which I wish we were currently having, but we are not.  Thus far, we've had one snow that stayed for 2 days before melting.  Hopefully it will stay away for awhile. 

AND, this one is very Patriot with it's red, white and blue.  Rather than a single large square, this is made from 6 good size squares and is large enough for a nice family ghan.

But, don't go away.  We're not done.  I have more of Marsha's work to share with you.  This 4th afghan is a bit more open, lighter and lacy style granny center square.  The colors are very very fall like and remind of falling leaves.

AND this, afghan/lapghan #5, hello Halloween.  This is another center square style granny square afghan/lapghan.  Hoping a family with some children get this one because it really reminds of Halloween, and children so love Halloween.

What a fun variety of colors.  I hope you enjoyed seeing them as much as I did.  But, remember...do come back, cause there's more and I'm telling you how many more.  You have to come to find out.

Many thanks Marsha and please keep up the good work.  Stay warm and stay safe and healthy all.

Donating Socks for Homeless, Important

Thank you Tara B for your monthly shipment of socks!  I've said before how smart I think she is for setting this up.  She saves herself the time to shop, and the cost of shipment.  She set up an ongoing order through Amazon and they ship directly to me at and no shipping cost to her.  Brilliant!!

Temps here have indeed turned the corner so having warm clean dry socks for folks living in the elements and or shelters is truly important.  Warm dry feet can be a huge factor is whether someone remains healthy or get's sick.

Many thanks Tara, and please know how much good you're doing.  AND how much it's appreciated.

Please stay safe everyone, these are difficult times.

Scarves Galore for Ohio's Homeless

Thank you "anonymous" for this thoughtful donation.  Look at this lovely scarves.  Please click to enlarge the picture so you can see the variety of stitches used and how much texture is involved.  A wonderful color selection that is suitable for men or women.  The scarves can make such a difference in keeping someone warm.

Let me take a minute and explain "anonymous".  It's perfectly fine to be anonymous on the blog, but you must include your name and email when you mail donations, so that I have records, and the ability to make contact should there be a need.  This individual did that.  Though it's been a good long while we used to have some issues with donations showing up and I had no means of making contact with the individual, so my policy had to be changed accordingly.  

Many thanks for your generous donation, and please keep up the good work.  I hope everyone is staying safe from this ever spreading virus.

Matching Hat and Scarf Sets Warm Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Lisa N. for this thoughtful donation.  Lisa has been busy knitting up these lovely hat and scarf sets.  I love how she's packaged them.  Please click to enlarge the picture so you can see what I mean.  They're tied together nicely and have the size tag included.  Very nice!  I think it makes them look like a gift set don't you!

She's also included some personal care items and an extra hat.  

Our weather has indeed turned.  We've had nights below freezing, and a fair amount of rain.  Got a short reprieve, but I fear that too is now over.  So these nice warm knitted goodies are truly needed.

Many thanks and please keep up the good work.  In these difficult times it's even more important to do what we can for those less fortunate.  

I hope you're all staying safe from The Covid.  As we all move to more indoor activities, keep your hooks and needles busy folks.
