Mittens, Mittens!!!

10 Fabulous pairs of mittens, all knitted from Jean out in Wisconsin. Many many thanks Jean. Jean says in her note that she knits these with sock yarn. She uses two skeins of unrelated sock yarn and I LOVE the way they've turned out. Such fun colors and such a fun variety.


Two wonderfully colorful scarves, the striped one is knitted, the scalloped one is crocheted. What a fun idea to change colors every row; but crochet lengthwise for a totally different look.
Many thanks Jean. I'll get these delivered in the next couple of days and know 20 hands will be warmer and happier. (forgot I also wondered what pattern you used for the stripped knitted scarf, love the texture).

Are your mittens made with DP's Jean, or straight needles?

This is post #103
(our first year anniversary was on Dec 2)
Keep knitting and crocheting, thanks to all

Oophs, just realized I missed one pair of mittens. So here's a nice close up. Look at the colors, aren't they great!

I'm excited and wanted to share.

Folks, we recently hit our 1 year Anniversary, that was back on Dec 2, 2009. Our first post regarding this cause was Dec 2 08. This post is #102. I didn't notice it when I posted #100, which I think is a cool milestone.

I wanted to say thank you to all who've knitted, all who've crocheted, all who've helped by donating yarn, all who've helped some of you get your items mailed here by helping with postage, to Rae for making the deliveries, for my SIL for being our go between and hooking me up with Rae. More thanks go out to all who've made a blog post about our cause and or posted our badge to help spread the word. And thanks also go to those who sent money for socks.

I appreciate each and everyone of you. All donations are important, all are needed, and all are appreciated.

Bless you all for helping to warm another human being. Please keep up the good work.

**worked some on 2 scarves while traveling to and from St. Louis this past wkend, hoping to get them finished in the next day or so.

Give them Back, Stella! NOW

Stella, you can model them but they are NOT for you. It's warm and toasty here in the house, those folks under the bridge without a roof over their heads need them. Bunny made them "special" for them. Nice man sized warm soft luscious mittens, a large thick warm soft scarf, and 2 awesome hats. The 2nd hat didn't turn out well in the photo, it's a neat variegated--didn't realize how close to the colors of my spread it was and so it doesn't show up very well. Shoot. Iquickly added these items to the bags for delivery; as it's been horribly cold here with more promised. These folks are really in need of the warmth we can provide. Thank you Bunny.

Please, I know this is a busy time of the year for us all; but do your level best to keep those hooks and needles flying.

So many appreciate YOU!

**heading out of town with yarn, hoping to finish a scarf I'm working on for the Bridge**

Stella's sooooooooo Excited

Most of you know how much of a ham Dear Stella is, AND how excited she get's when she gets to model your beautiful creations. Doris sent out an email to tell Stella to be on the look out. Well..........here she is folks!

Hats and scarves the kids/young teens at the clinic will love. 2 matching sets of hats and scarves, 4 scarves, and 10 total hats. Thanks so much Doris. All are crocheted. Blue, Green, yellow, burgundy red and a very pretty light green, and don't forget the fun camo.........wonderful.

Stella is jumping for joy!

Keep all the goodies coming folks, everything is appreciated and so very much needed.

Rae's Mother Reaches out again

This scarf is made from the stash Rae passed along to me from her mother. I think she'd be pleased to know it's going to this project, The Bridge. The scarf measures 7 inches wide by 76 inches long.........so one can double up in it and keep warm. I love the variegated tans and white and have more of this yarn that will also be used for charitable purposes.

We had snow yesterday, though am happy to report it didn't stick. Colder today than yesterday, though folks PLEASE keep those knitting needles and crochets hooks busy. The need is great.

**have had some technical issues, but have the mileage widget working again; so have crocheted/knitted .65 miles with yarn from Rae's Mother's Stash. Wish I could change the wording on the widget.

Like The Eveready Bunny!

Like The EverReady Bunny, our Bunny keep going and going and going. Look at these darling donations. From left to right, 3 knitted hats, crocheted hat with double yarn ? (I think), with a crocheted hat with ties beneath it. To the right warm knitted mittens.

Bunny's blog is in my sidebar, please hop over to her blog and tell her how awesome she is.
