Much excitement in the charity world

Folks donations are coming in daily. Many many thanks to all who crochet and or knit, who've helped to spread the word etc. I'm hearing from new helping hands which tells me the word of our need is getting out there. I can't tell you how pleased that makes me.

Still looking to connect with a Becky P, from I believe the state of Washington in order to say thanks. Her donation came, has been photographed etc, but I can't find whom she is to say thank you. Does anyone know her, have an email ady or blog url? Is she in one of your charity groups? Please let me know Her thoughtful donation is HERE.

**just found Becky P, she's bpeatknits from RAV, yippee, one mystery solved. (added her to our members list


crochet hatscrocheted hats
These 2 pictures are from someone in Thousand Oaks California. There is no name, no email ady, or blog url with this donation. The hats on the left are nice and thick, double yarn I think from the feel of it, and are crocheted. The items on and around Susie in the 2nd picture are also crocheted and will go to the clinic for younger kids. (the 2 small baby/infant hats will be passed along to the hospital, as babies aren't treated at the free clinic). Mia is our mystery person from Thousand Oaks, CA. Glad that's been solved. Thanks very much Mia for your donation.

PLEASE, a reminder folks to include your name, your email ady, and or blog url with your thoughtful donations. Some of you I know by blog nickname, some by email ady/avatars; and often folks use different names and ID's in a variety of charity groups. I want to properly thank and give credit to those helping hands; help me do that by including the information with your donation.

Hats and Scarves oh My


Welcome Trudy folks, she's one of our newer members. The gold hat is knitted and the other items are crocheted. Wish you could see the knitted hat better. Shoot, the picture didn't show up well. It had a nice design. I would re-photograph, but have already forwarded these items. I'm making deliveries more frequently right now because of the extreme temperatures, I want these folks to get warm items as quickly as humanely possible. The colors in the 2nd photo are a bit off, as the rose pink and green set is the same rose pink as in the other other picture. Photo's were taken with different light. And as you see, it made a difference.

Thanks bunches Trudy for these hats and scarf sets. They will be distributed at the clinic. Those kids/teens and their Mom's freeze and I know they'll be thrilled to have something warm to wear.

Looking for Becky P, can you help?

Thank you Becky. Three cute knitted hats and a crocheted scarf. These will go to the clinic and keep some kids warm. I particularly like the larger of the 3 hats, such unusual yarn and colors. Does anyone know Becky? She didn't send her email, or her on blogger ID and I can't find an email from her to know whom she is to thank her. The note in the pouch was written with a fat marker and is hard to read/think it got smeared a bit. I believe Becky is from the state of Washington? I've looked through RAV members but haven't found her in the Bridge group there.

Hoping Becky see's this and lets me know whom or where she is.

Many thanks Becky.

Please keep knitting and crocheting folks, it's bitter cold here, was only 2 degrees when I got up yesterday morning. My widget isn't working today, so not sure how cold it is right now; but my house still hasn't warmed up and I'm wearing a scarf indoors....does that tell you how cold it is here.

Socks for cold feet

Deciding it was time to straighten and clean out my draws a bit. Did a couple of hubby's draws awhile back and never got around to doing mine. These 11 pair of socks were making my draw too crowded; so sending this in the next pouch for the ladies under the bridge.

Hoping to have some more scarves done in the near future.

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.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
