Thank you Beth G for this wonderful donation for Ohio's Homeless. Beth has crocheted scarves,and cotton washcloths and has included socks and personal care items as well. Even though we have finally warmed up here in Ohio during the days,the nights are still cool, and we still have some of the wet dreary weather difficult for the homeless to contend with; soooooo please don't stop knitting and crocheting folks. The need does indeed continue through out the year. And, when we might reach a point where folks are currently in need, we then stock up all the various shelters and Rae, so they are always prepared.
I want to thank all the new visitors supporting us through their visits and thoughtful comments from The A-Z challenge and am thrilled some of our new friends are busy and knitting and crocheting and or looking to see what they might do to help, either here or in their own areas. We need to continue to spread the information about the severity of homelessness and spread the news about what can be done throughout our country.

Cupcakes for Knitters and Crocheters and Yarn Lovers
Too cute not to share. Spotted this one day on Facebook and had to save it to share with you all. Doesn't this make you smile! Creative people make the world a better place I think. Anyone out there a baker....wanna give this try?
Weather has been all over the place here in Central Ohio. We've had a few days warmer than normal, followed by lots and lots of rainy days, cold wet gray days, followed by cooler than normal weather. Sitting in the house with a fleece on, sipping hot coffee as I type this scheduled post. It's only in the low 40's outside so still plenty cold for those in need.
What's everyone working on? I'm getting close to being done with The Blue Horizon Afghan.

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.
