More wonderful items to warm those in need!

Thanks bunches and bunches Sandie for fabulous hats (#156-157-158) and scarf (#79) to help warm those in need and help us get closer and closer to our goals.

I see what you mean about the color and the pictures though. There are what I would call purple...and the pictures do make them look blue on your page. Don't know if they show up more true to color here or not? Funny sometimes that happens.

I've already added them to the bag that I gave my SIL yesterday, so they are alrady in route to those in need.

Folks, all you've donated have been so greatly appreciated. I've been so busy at the hospital I've not had a chance to get around and visit, sorry; but please don't think you're forgotten. You aren't!

HUGS to all, please keep those hooks and needles flying. We still have cold here in Central Ohio and these folks are still very much in need.

More Socks! Yippee!!!!

7 more pairs of socks to warm feet for those men living under the bridge. Hugs a bunch Dear Scarlet. I'm still trying to catch up here with pictures and counting etc. Things do seem (toes and fingers still crossed) to be calming down in The ICU.

I've got a bag here of goodies to pass along to my SIL today so she can get needed items to Rae for our homeless folks.

And what a neat surprise from Scarlet. I had completely forgotten I even responded to her fun contest regarding the cute face and what to do with her head. She bestoyed 2 great skeins of yarn on me in the same package as the socks! I've tossed it in my hospital bag and already made a pair of booties with it, and am working on a hat to match. Thanks bunches Scarlet. I've used this yarn before and really love the blues...very nice!

Hats and Mitts!

Two Darling little hats for the kiddo's at the free clinic and a pair of mittens. Thank you so much SunnieFairy. They are so needed and very much appreciated. Are your hats done on a loom? I thought sometime back you told me you used one? Very very nice.

Hats #154 & 155, AND mitts # 34

Still pretty nippy here folks, below freezing most of time, hats, mittens, and scarfs still very much needed.

Thanks for all your help.

Mini update

A quick update before heading back to the hospital. As always Sandie's work is super! 2 fabulous hats and a scarf to help these homeless warm.

Not one of my better pictures, sorry folks took it quickly last night after I got home from the hospital before going to bed.

Got another nice bag to pass along to Rae. Will connect up with SIL tomorrow or the next day with this latest donation.

Though we do have a few mini signs of spring...they will not last and winter will return here. It always does. So please keep those hooks and needles working and donate what you can.

Looks like even Stella was tired, laying her head on the pillows! Hats #152 and 153, and scarf #78

Would love to hit our goal of 100 scarfs which is only....22 scarfs away.

**I managed to get to the bank today on my way to the hospital and exchanged the English pounds into American currency and am hopeful I can get out shopping in the next or so to pick up some more socks for men under the bridge.

Some more Scarfs, made in ICU

These are 3 scarfs I've made while sitting in ICU, (ICU info here regarding Mom). Scarfs #75-76-77

The 2 reddish colored scarfs are both knitted. One is red and grey, though the grey doesn't show up well in the picture. The 2nd one is more reddish-orange. I intended these to go to the free clinic for the women/teens. One is a mohair blend the other light and lofty.

The brown one is nice and big, both wide and long; suitable for men and is crocheted.

Will try to do another update tomorrow, as I have more to photograph and post. It's time to get ready to head back to the hospital, again.

I needed a diversion of something more pleasant the other day and did an update on my travel blog, please stop in for a visit.

Still Counting

It was bitter cold again today here in Central Ohio. Believe it was 3 when I first woke up with a wind chill maker it even colder. Thankfully I have more warm items to count and donate. Many many thanks going out to Sandie for Hat #159, and Scarfs # 73 & 74. As always Sandie's work in flawless. I passed a bag along just 2 days ago to my SIL to pass along to Rae and am working on another one here to get to her as soon as possible.

Keep those hooks and needles flying folks, hats, mittens, scarfs are still very much needed. Also am still collecting socks. Am hopeful I'll get time away from the hospital enough tomorrow to get out and purchased socks from our last 2 monetary donations.

Will be heading back to the hospital shortly (more information on my regular blog here)

Thanks for the continued support of this program, and many thanks for the good wishes and prayers many of you have sent my way.
