Knitted Hats from Puerto Rico

Look at these awesome hats!  These are knit double which makes for a super nice warm hat and coordinating brim. Thank you DaMaris from Puerto Rico.  They could also be reversible.  DaMaris knits them half and half...colorwise, like a tube then gathers the ends.  She used a Turbo round knitter for these.  I've not seen the machine in person, but would love to have one.  Thanks also DaMaris for taking the time to tag...sizing is so very helpful.

She's also included a pair slippers in her thoughtful donation.

Please keep up the good work.

Hats and Scarves Help the Homeless

Thank you Patty C!  Patty and her crochet hook have been very very busy, as you can see crocheting hats and scarves to help Ohio's homeless.  I LOVE that the hats and scarves are nice dark, and pretty much solid colors.  These colors are so versatile for both men and women.  I mention from time to time, the darker colors serve many purposes.  The most obvious reason the darker colors are so good is they don't tend to show the dirt.  However, even more importantly the dark  colors vs light and bright colors keep them from standing out..........folks that's very important to homeless.  They want to blend in, not catch the attention of others who might make things difficult for them.

Many thanks Patty, please keep up the good work.

Hats from Baby Love Ministry in California

Hats......hats  of many sizes and colors knit and crocheted with love from St.Halena, California.  Baby Love Ministry has gifted us these wonderful hats with a note saying it gets colder in Ohio than here in California.  I was  contacted by their Founder and Dierctoer Joan Rocha at Grace Episcopal Church.

This church group's ministry to help others is truly heart warming.  Thank you Joan, and please give our sincere thanks to all in your group.  What a wonderful thing to get together as a group and serve others.

We here in Ohio, where it's currently dark, cold and very damp truly thank you.  Those in need who receive your hats will be thrilled!

Please keep up the good work.
