More Love from the Hook

pink hatcrochet hats and scarvescrocheting for the homeless
More Love from the Hook. Pouches and boxes from all around continue to prove to me how much love there is the hands of those who knit and crochet. Such a fantastic group of people. Here we have 2 more hat and scarf sets (blue and green--pink and blue), a rose and gold hat, darker navy scarf, and pink and rose hat from Trudy. Love how our numbers are climbing. Each represents another person touched by loving hands and warmed in a very special way.

More New Members!

Alma is a new member, and sent this donation in a week ago. It got mixed in the wrong folder on my computer and I just found it today. Sorry for the delay posting it. Welcome to the group and many thanks Alma. All items are crocheted. Not only is Alma new to our group, but she's new to blogging. Let's go visit and encourage her to blog and enjoy herself. Remember when we were new at blogging, trying to learn how things worked and excited to get comments. Spread The Bridge Love. I've added her to our blog log.

Hats, Hats, love for the head!

Thanks Bonnie for these 13 crocheted hats and scarf. I love the way you've added both texture and color to make a trim on the edge. Very nice. Your donation will keep 13 more people warmer. Awesome.

I'm in Love with my Mailman! lol

See why I'm in LOVE with my mailman? lol He brings me such wonderful packages from you all. This fabulous package is from a new member, Robbie. A great mix of crocheted and knitted items here. I believe the pink/purplish scarf is knitted while the other 3 look to be crocheted. The multi-colored blue hat Stella's sporting, the pink & gray, and the solid green hats are crocheted while the others are knitted. Look at those blue and white mittens! Oh my, what a labor that had to be. Beautiful. Both pairs of mittens are knitted.

Thank you Robbie for your donation. This donation brings our counts to:

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?
