What would you like?

What great ideas! I had actually thought to start keeping my knit & crochet dishcloths in the car so that I can leave the waitress's one with their tip when we go to sit down restaurants.

i think that would be ok as long as you leave a note that it's a gift and not a hint!!

Ha! Yeah...good idea! I figured I would leave some kind of little note thanking them for their great service.

I'm so happy to hear about how many other people are brightening the world up with crochet

Here are two of my butterflies.

It's not the best picture.

This is my first time trying attachments...I hope it worked....

I like the potholder suggestion Glenda made. Who doesn't need a potholder? Myself personally, a turtle.

 

 

agreed!

I made a turtle from Amigurumi World, it came out really well and I am giving it to my friend. I am going to try one from Tiny Yarn Animals, next.

Still thinking about this~just WOW! Love the ideas of sooo many things~dishcloths, small dolls or teddy bears, hats, a necklace, those swiffer covers or broom handle dusters, *market bags* or totes or a small purse, even a shawl if ya had the inkling... Really, the possibilities are ENDLESS!!!!!!! Still LOVE IT! (((((HUGS))))) sandi

 

ETA that I LOVED that toy society link as well! Would love another such blog set up that includes a greater variety of projects and maybe even charitable donations and opportunities....

This is such a sweet idea! My daughter and I are thinking about doing it with amigurumi. I like the potholder idea, bookmarks in the library...oh heck I like all the ideas. Right now we are trying to decide on some sort of tag to leave with each one. For ami's I'm thinking something like "If you found me, I'm not lost". Any suggestions for messages on the tags? Depending on what you make the message could be different.

 

"The Toy Society" blog is very cool the way people who find items post about it. The stories are so cute.

This last winter I made 20 scarves out of scrap yarn and added a little tag that said Merry Christmas and hung them on a bush next to where the homeless frequent. My husband said I was thoughtful but sort of weird.

The next day when we drove by the same place, there was a big hand written sign that said "THANK YOU AND BLESS YOU!"

Oh my, what a wonderful story!

 

And I love that Toy Society blog. I bookmarked it so I can go back when I am feeling down. Kind of like a "see, there are nice people in the world" pick-me-up.

i like i can haz cheezburger for a pick me up

What do you ladies think about re-usable shopping/grocery bags at a farmer's market?

[shuttlebuggy]

I do like things with a "use" but I think a turtle is always in good taste too - coming from another turtle lover

Flowers seem to be my forte so I would leave flowers...

 

When my Mom was in the hospital she taught the nurses to crochet hats (beanies) for the soldiers. She sent tons of them to them overseas. That & the Cross in my pocket plastic canvas.

When she saw the flowers I made her she adored them but she had to share them with her friends there too. The lily of the valley was her favorite. Now that she is gone it seems most natural to pass on her gifts of crochet...

[Yarn.]

Something with a use is in the lead (with amigurumi in the following )

What sort of useful thing would people like?

I feel like people might find it somewhat suspicious to find, say, dishcloths for free somewhere. Or left on their doorstep.

[123mama]

I like pot holders and book marks

[armywife]

that is so sweet

Coasters. You can never have too many. Nice tightly stitched absorbent ones. I wish I one on my desk right now -- better go make one!

Don't you just love the convenience of being able to crochet nearly anything?

Like, "Oh, my neck is so cold!"

"Here! I just made you a scarf!"
