Thank you Mary, a fellow Ohioan for these fabulous scarves. I love the way the look. They remind me of Mexican and or Native American style. She tells me she used what's called a knit stitch, though she says it's single crochet. They are bright and cheery, and very nice and heavy so will be warm! Mary is our newest pair of helping hands. Hope to see you here often Mary and keep up the good work. Your thoughtful donation is very much appreciated.

Knitted Corner to Corner, Color Busting Afghan
Busting stash, one color at a time. First Pink, then green, and done now with blue. Checking stash to see what's next. Chipping away here on this traditional style corner to corner garter stitch knitted ghan for Faith Mission. Using up lots of odd balls with hues of each color. There will be no right or wrong side to this ghan, as I'm changing when the yarn runs out. Currently, I believe it will be 4th colors. Must check stash to see what color comes after the blue. Stay tuned.

Congratulations on a Personal Challenge that Helps Others!
HATS, Hats, HATS and more. Count them if you can. 40 fabulous hearts of various sizes and colors crocheted by Yarn Yokel, someone I've gotten to know from The Hive. Congratulations Yarn Yokel (Jason) for completing your wonderful personal challenge. He challenged himself to make 40 hats. This is wonderful way for a win win situation. He wins because he's set and accomplished a goal. A fabulous goal at that, one all about helping others. The 2nd part of the win win is the 40 people who will receive his hats and be warmed by the thoughtfulness it took to make them as well as the yarn that's keeping them warmer.
Had to show you this hat close up, look at the swirl! I've got to find out how he made that. I really love it, so fun, so interesting and so unique. Awesome!
Many thanks Yarn Yokel for your thoughtful donation.

Clapping for Mittens!
Clapping wildly, more lovely mittens. Look at all the wonderful sizes and different colors. These fabulous mittens are knitted by Dorothy in Wisc. Dorothy participates in Bev's Charity Challenge. She's also one of the winners of The Mitten Challenge, The Mitten Throw Down! You can certainly see why. Many thanks Dorothy for your thoughtful donation. 7 hats, 1 scarf, and 30 pairs of mittens.
Wanted you to see this cute design. Look how she made the thumb, the edge of the cuff, and tip of the hand in a coordinating color. Shows up so nicely like that. Very cute.
One of the wee pairs for a little tyke, aren't these adorable! Once again let me say how thrilled I am with the amount of participation we had with the mitten challenge. What a great idea, Beth. Thank You Beth for the idea, and thank you to all who participated.

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.
