Knitted Donations from Sunny Florida for Ohio's Homeless

Woot Woot, look at this wonderful donation of knitted wonderfulness  from our good friend and long time supporter Sandra R from the sunny state of Florida.  Several styles and sizes of knitted cotton washcloths.  Always love the ones made on the diagonal.  There's just something cool about them.  She's also included some personal care items.  Personal care items and cotton washcloths are needed and appreciated all year long, summer, fall, winter and into spring.
Additionally, Sandra's been very busy knitting hats......hats in lots of different sizes and styles, and colors.  Awesome, truly  something for everything in this thoughtful donation.  Special thanks Sandra  for taking the time to tag each hat with size.  We always ask folks to do that and it's such huge help.  It helps me know which pile of donations to put the hat in, and it helps the volunteers at the various shelters to know how to divide the donations.

Awesome, and please keep up the good work there in sunny Florida.

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.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
