Cotton Washcloths for Ohio's Homeless

Thank you minnisoda (Liz) from The Ville for these fabulous cotton washcloths. Some are knitted corner to corner, others knitted side to side, and others are crocheted. Look at the variety of styles and colors...soooooooo awesome. Beautifully made! I'm particularly fond of the mint green in the upper right...love that textured pattern.

I'll be making packages with some of the wonderful cloths that have been donated with soap, shampoo, razors, deodorant, toothbrushes and toothpaste. These personal care packages are always so greatly appreciated and needed. I'll separate into male and female and the donations will go out to the ladies at Nancy Place (through Faith Mission), the men at Faith Mission, as well as our men under the various bridges that Rae and Toby feed on Sat. mornings.

Thank you all for your continued hard work and support. Every person, every item, and every single stitch DO MATTER.

Donating Hats for Homeless

Sandie in warm Florda loves to knit (loom) hats and donate them for the cold in need homeless in Ohio, and I'm soooooooooo glad she does. Once again, she's made fabulous hats with such interesting color combinations. Thanks bunches Sandie. We've had another cold spell here, even though it's June we've hit record lows for this time of year so I know those living outdoors in the elements are still wearing hats and scarves at night.

5 more days for our June cotton cloth focus, then will swing into July which will focus on squares. Please check out the directions, working calendar, and frequently asked questions in the tabs across the top of the blog.

Crocheted Camo Squares

Darn, picture is a bit blurry. Click to enlarge so you can see the pinkish camo squares! How fun. I can see this already in a ghan. I believe with pink squares inbetween....and or increasing the size of these squares by adding before putting together?? My mind is already is gear about how to use these fun squares. Though, I must admit since I've been working on a ghan as a wedding present I'm behind in the edging and assembly process; but fear not. ALL your squares do get used. Niki at Butternut St sent along some odds and ends of yarn which I'll also put to good use. Thanks so much Niki for your donation.

Hey folks...we have 2 Niki's Nikki's now. Niki in Arizona and Nikki in Ohio. Both have blogs and are listed on the blog log.

Donating Crocheted Goodies is Love

Our good friend, RoseMarie has done it again. Crocheted bright cheery pretty goodies for the ladies/girls. You might now recognize her signature item...the crocheted flower with a button center. These darling scarf and hat sets will surely please the young girls. In addition to the 4 hats and scarves and 6 cotton cloths, RoseMarie donated some soap and shampoo. Fabulous, those will included in the personal care packages for Faith Mission.

Thanks again RoseMarie for your ongoing support of our cause.
