Hats are Essential for Homeless

Thank you Erika H for your thoughtful donation of knitted hats.  Folks I've edited this picture trying to get the colors to show, but it didn't work very well.  Black and Dark Navy are the colors.  These hats are nice and large and heavy and no doubt will be used for those folks living out in the elements where they often have to wear two hats to ward off the elements.  Nicely done Erika.  Please keep up the good work.  Folks if you click to enlarge the picture you can see the nice detail, particularly in the lower right hat of the brim area.

Look forward to seeing you here often on Bridge and Beyond, Erika.

Reminders:
*Please include a note with your donation folks with your email, saves me trying to figure out whom you are in order to let you know the mail arrived safe and sound.
**Remember to avoid open stitches where you can put your finger through (v stitches, mile a minute, and granny style type stitches aren't as warm as solid stitches.
***Remember to avoid light colors, pastels, whites, and lots of bold colors as the darker colors serve a wider range of the population we strive to serve
****Please remember to tag hats, slippers, and mittens with size.

Mittens for Homeless Men

Clapping for mittens!  Thank you Erika H for this thoughtful and much needed donation of mittens.  I copped the picture, I believe in such a way you can't read the label, but surely appreciate Erika adding a tag/label with name size etc.  These nice large warm mittens will be perfect for the men folk.  These are large enough they may even be able to wear a pair underneath for the bitter cold months.

Thank you Erika, please keep up the good work, look forward to seeing you here often on Bridge and Beyond.  Welcome to the group, we're thrilled to have you join us.
