HATS!!!! #1-2-3-4-5 AND 6

YIPPEE!! Notice the Hat ticker is moving. We received our first donations of hats. 6 beautiful warm crocheted hats, Thank you Bunny




I particularly love the green and the brown mix. What yarn did you use? There are wonderful and will be perfect! Thank you Bunny. Please hop over to Bunny's site and get acquainted if you don't already know her.

Here's the start of the scarf I'm working on, calling it shades of blue.

Promises and things in the mail

I'm very excited. I've heard from several people who've started a hat or scarf, others that things are being mailed. I will keep you all posted about progress on all fronts.

Cold and icy today here in Central Ohio. I started a scarf on my break at work. Didn't get much done, super busy day; so very soon am heading to the living room to work on it. My goal is to complete it by tomorrow night? Making it lengthwise, shades of blue. Trying to use up some left over yarn I have here at finger tips.

Thanks to all who've joined this group. I also have a group on Ravelry and had 20 members in that group today just before I headed to work. Some of you, like me....are here and there.

Sing out when I should be on the look out for my mailman.

HELP NEEDED, Hats and Scarfs, PLEASE

I've added 2 ticker/counters here on our blog...one for HATS and one for SCARFS. I've set a goal of 100 for each and will keep track so we know where we are against the goal.

I've fixed the settings and those who attempted to join yesterday have now been able to join. YIPPEE. Anyone may help, email to join the group so I can add your email which lets you join as an author, which means you're listed as a team member. If you'ld like to help without being an "official" team member you may do that by posting a comment. Email me at sandycrochet@gmail.com for my address to mail HATS, SCARFS, GLOVES.

Sooooooo many ways to help:
Post a link to the group in your blog to help spread the word
Blog about the effort
Add link in mass emails to your knitting and crochet friends
And the obvious way is with your knitting needles and or crochet hooks.

When donations are mailed to me, I'll photograph and add so we can see all the wonderful items made by caring kind people.

***would like to add a weather, temperature thing, who knows how to do that?

Need team members, help me warm the homeless in need! PLEASE

Temperatures drop around the country, Homelessness rising, and it's official...the country's in a recession. Help me reach out to the cold, hungry, homeless in Ohio's Capital City, Columbus. Rae (a friend of sister-in-laws from church), and 2 friends visit and feed a group of homeless folks under a bridge weekly. These folks are in need of warm items. The group, all adult--mostly men need hats, scarfs, gloves, and perhaps vests and sweaters. Put your knitting needles and crochet hooks to the cause. Help me help Rae warm these folks, it could be the difference between life and death during these cold winter months in Ohio.

There are some women living here also, but mostly men; and to date we're thankful there are no children.

NEED: Hats, scarfs, gloves..in adult sizes and colors mostly appropiate for men.

This blog will be dedicated to this cause. I will keep tallies here, show pictures of items donated here.

Please join the cause, please join the team.

Items can be sent to me. Contact me at sandycrochet@gmail.com for an address. Once I figure out how to make the blog a team/private thing, I'll add my address.

If you have the ability, vests and or sweaters would also be welcomed.

Afghans made from Donated Squares

Below in no particular order you see afghans made from your thoughtful donated squares. There are many different colors, many different sizes, many different types of squares (rectangles) which make many different types of afghans. Some are traditional in design, some have a definite pattern, some come together without a pattern. Some squares were knitted, some were crocheted. Some afghans where assembled with squares from lots of different hands, while others were made with squares from the same volunteer. Please share with me the joy at seeing what the beauty of team work can do. Each thumbnail is clickable and will link you to the blog post to see the afghan picture larger as well as details about the afghan.

Please take time and look through these and see how many of your squares you can find. PLEASE leave a comment stating you found your squares in afghan #...1-4 first row, 5-8 second row and so forth. If you can point out your squares even better. You may also leave comments on the actual post that highlights the afghan made from your squares. Enjoy and please be chatty. Let's see how many comments we can get.
