Donations from a Speedy Hook in Georgia

4 Squares, 5 matching hat and scarves set all crocheted and donated by Diana K from The Peach Tree State (Georgia). Unsure if Diana mailed her 3 boxes all at one time or whether they came at different times through out my time away; so am grouping them here all together. I love the pretty shade of purple! Obviously she used her left over yarn from the hats and scarves to make some granny squares too. Good utilization.
16 crocheted granny squares here....can you see how these plus the ones above are all going to go well together!
AND 6 more matching sets of hats and scarves. Woot Woot! Diana your hook must be on file! Many thanks for your thoughtful donations. Keep up the good work.

Ohio and Tennessee Team Up and Donate

Above 6 donated knitted and crocheted washcloths (particularly love the basket weave tan and brown one. These 6 cloths are donated by either Judy B from Ohio or Suzann W from Tennessee. Great Donations from either The Buckeye State or The Volunteer State (how perfect that nickname is).
These 6 knitted washcloths are also either donated by Judy B in Ohio or Suzann W in Tennessee. Both my notes say 6 washcloths, both pictures have 6 washcloths so when I went to edit pictures and label pictures in preparation for writing the scheduled post I didn't know who's 6 belong to whom. I also keep the notes you include with your donations (when you do), and or cut the mailing label off the box or pouch and stack them on my desk to use for posting. Each note has notes like: photo, email, blog and what the donation was. When I take the photo I check it off, when I sent thank you email...I check it off, when I write blog post I check it off and pitch the note. Soooooooooooo, you see my puzzle. I use the notes to label the pictures......never had this happen before where the same number of cloths, or hats etc were listed.

So, I thank you both Judy B and Suzann W for your thoughtful donations. I appreciate them both. Sing out if you're reading this and tell me who's 6 cloths were yours. Rest assured both groups of 6 are needed and appreciated.

Edited***Thanks Suzann W from Tenn for helping by identifying your 6 are the bottom six. Appreciate the helping hand!***

Yippee for Cotton WashCloths from The North Star State

Minnesota has 2 nicknames really. The North Star State and The Land of 1000 Lakes. Both seem most appropriate, though I tend to remember North Star more. Unsure if one nickname is more official or has been around longer. But, these knitted (11) and crocheted (6) cotton wash cloths are donated by our good friend, Liz from Minnesota. Thank you Liz. We really never have enough it seems. This item is always on the request list from both family shelters (The Y and Homeless Families Foundation). Colors are brighter then my pictures shows. Believe this was the last picture I took right before changing batteries.

Thank you for your thoughtful donation Liz and your on going support. We sure appreciate it and you.

Donations From The SunShine State

The warmth in Florida pretty much negates the need for big warm scarves there, so our long time friend, Sandie continues to support our cause with 2 nice large scarves. Thank you Sandie for your on going support, and...as of the writing of this scheduled post....thank you for including some sunshine. Though it's quite cool today, it is at least sunny. History tell us we here in Ohio have several more weeks before we hit the all clear for frost at night warnings...something to be celebrated for sure.

I Tip My Hat

I tip my hat, I tip my hat, I tip my hat...........lol. I tip my hat to you Cheryl 33 times. Fabulous colors in these 33 knitted hats. She uses wide ribs so they have lots of cool texture and they're very stretchy which makes them great for heads of many sizes. Cheryl G. I keep forgetting to ask you what type of yarn you use...is it sock yarn? It's so nice and soft.

In addition to the hats Cheryl, a friend from years ago when we went to school together, sent 4 cotton washcloths. Many thanks Cheryl for your on going support. Please, keep up the good work.

In the previous post you see a white plastic bag. This is the donation her darling hubby totted when he ventured here from Florida for The Ohio State Spring Football Game.
