The Love continues

Look at these marvelous hats and scarf from Sandie. Sandie's support has never wavered from crocheting hats and scarves, to blogging about our cause, to posting our badge on her badge. We appreciate each and everything so very much. Sandie's work is always top notch. I feel lucky to have her helping our cause and know whomever gets her goodies feels equally lucky.

Look at how the love continues. You all do so much, I appreciate each and everyone one of you who stitch and stitch and stitch. So many stitches of love to warm so many in need.

Bless you all.

These hats and scarf are brown; but I think with my reddish brown background you may not be able to tell that well. Should have used a different background for the photo. Mental note to self to remember to think about the colors.

Scarves!

Scarves! I'm getting warmer just looking at them all. Beautifully crocheted scarves from Esther (maddeleine4 on Rav). Some of these are crocheted with double yarn, I think. Nice and thick; which translates to nice and warm. Remember to click on the picture to enlarge it so you can see the wonderful variety of colors.

I'm hoping to make another delivery later this week so these fabulous scarves will be around the neck of those in need SOON!

Many thanks Esther for your thoughtful donation. It is deeply appreciated.

Stay warm and dry folks, keep the yarn at hand, busy hands are happy hands and lots of happy hands improve the lives of so many.

Thank you all!

Shared love with so many stitches

Thank you Trudy! Look at these colors folks, not only will these hats and scarves keep someone in need warm, but they are fun cheery colors. I love the mix of colors particularly in the orange and brown hat Trudy knitted. All these items are so nicely knitted.

We all share the love we have with each and every stitch; be it knitted or crocheted, or loomed. A stitch here, a stitch there....they add up and continue to make a HUGE difference in many lives.

Keep up the wonderful work folks, you are appreciated far more than I can ever communicate.

I'm thrilled to see our list of donators growing each and everyday. Please note I've added a section for those who donate but aren't bloggers; as well as a section titled pending donations. Sometimes I have trouble finding emails/names/ID's of those who've made contact asking for my address to forward thoughtful donations of knitted and crocheted hats, mittens, and scarves to. I'm hoping by adding names to the pending group after I've been contacted I'll better be able to find folks to give proper thanks when items arrive. Always trying to get more organized, hope this helps.

**Still Looking for Patty L from Ohio. I've checked my email box, my Rav. friends group, the list of RAV members to this group and haven't found a match. Does anyone know who Patty L. from Ohio is? If so, Please let me know. Click here to see her 2 blue scarves
Found her, yippee, it's CraftyMom from Rav. Thanks bunches!

Crochet hats and scarves warm our Homeless in many ways

Look at the darling blue and brown combination set! Isn't it darling. The scarf has a cute scalloped edge. Remember to click on the pictures to see the details of our donated goodies. I've wrapped the skinny scarf around Stella. The hats and scarves are all crocheted graciously donated by our friend Jenny who continues to support our cold homeless here in Ohio.

We still have snow on the ground, and while the sun did shine today melting some of it; it is still cold and wintry here in Central Ohio. So please keep those hands busy with needles and hooks. You all have done so much good.

Blue Scarves for the homeless

Beautiful blue scarves for homeless. Both these scarves are crocheted and donated by Patty. I NEED HELP, I've not been able to identify the right Patty. So...if you read this and know who Patty from Ohio is, PLEASE sing out so I can properly note this and thank the right person. You can see Stella all nicely bundled up in one, begrudging sharing the photo op. Oh Stella....lol. She is, as most of you know a camera hog. She loves to try on hats, bundled up in scarves and adorn herself in all the pretty items you graciously make. Not to worry though, she does them back to me so I can delivery to those in need. Those homeless and those attended to in the free clinics are always appreciative of the time, energy and love you all put in each and every stitch. One scarf, one hat DOES make a difference.

Thank you Patty for your thoughtful donation.

Keep up the good work folks, the need is great; and you all make a difference with your time and donations.

**stay tuned for a donation from Jenny

***Remember socks are needed all year long. Cold wet feet are miserable, so if you have a friend who doesn't knit or crochet who'd like to help; perhaps they'd like to donate socks.

****Notice the static page at the top, titled how can you help --if you've not read in detail what we do here's your chance.


PATTY L. FROM OHIO, has been indentified...it's craftymom from Rav. Thanks!

Warming more people, each and every day, thank you Barbara

Matching sets, hats, scarves, and mittens. Click to enlarge. See the royal blue in the center of the picture and the red and white to it's right....they're heavy tube socks which would help keep little ones warm and dry in their boots. Or since they probably don't have boots add a layer for their legs and feet. These cute colorful sets were knitted and donated by Barbara N. Many thanks Barbara N, the kids who receive these will indeed be warmer!
Wanted to photograph this one separately so you could see how fun it is. The pink and black remind me of poodle skirts. Anyone else as old as me remember those? Not only will some girl be warmer when she wears this donation, Barbara....she'll also be stylish and thrilled.
And look at this darling one. The picture turned out a bit darker than the set really is. Hope you can see the detail in the yarn when you click on it to enlarge it.
Look at this colorful collection of hats in lots of different sizes. Our friend Barbara's been very busy indeed.
The blue and white baby blanket is crocheted and will be donated along with the infant sized hats from above to the hospital, since the babies aren't treated at the 2 clinics. The scarf to the right of the blanket I believe is knitted and sooooooooo super soft.

Thank you Barbara for your thoughtful donation. You've warmed many.

Totally unrelated, but we all need some fun and perhaps a distraction from this long cold snowy winter. I'm having a fun contest over on my travel blog. Please feel free to hop over and check it out. The more the merrier.
