Crochet Donations Warm Homeless

Thank you Barbara F for this wonderful and thoughtful donation of crocheted goodies.  LOVE the stitches you used in these scarves and matching hats.  AND special thanks too for tagging the hats with size.  That is very helpful, and appreciated by me AND the volunteers at the various shelters.  Barbara has also included a nice stash of personal care items.  Looks like our long time supporter of Bridge and Beyond, Barbara F has been traveling and saving up her hotel samples.  Great way to donate.

AND look at this very nice afghan/lapghan.  Blue is a color that works for anyone, male or female.  Very nice detail with the stitch selection and the corner to corner design.  Many thanks Barbara for all you do.  Whomever receives this will be thrilled.

Please keep up the good work and know you make a difference in someone's life.

Thank you!

Crocheted Scarves Help Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Kara T for this thoughtful donation of 4 crocheted scarves.  Two are traditional scarves, and two Infinity Scarves.  All are nicely made, super soft, and nice and warm!!  That's what I call a win win for those who receive these lovely scarves.  Karla your support of Bridge and Beyond is greatly appreciated, by me, by those volunteers at the various shelters, as well as those who will wear your crocheted items.  Even though it's summer here in central Ohio, we've had nights cool enough, I've closed the windows in the house and pulled up a blanket, so our homeless friends are still in need of warm items to help keep themselves warm.

Please keep up the good work, Karla!

Crochet Hat and Scarf Sets for Homeless

Thank you Karen S for this thoughtful donation of matching hats and scarves.  Karen, as you know, if you've been visiting the blog has this unique style crocheting where you get a lighter and darker side to her scarves.  She's paired these nice thick warm scarves with hats made on the loom, again nice and thick and warm....as you use double stands when knitting on a loom.

Her method has many names, and I've blogged about it before Click here to 

to see the details in a u-tube video, as well as the blog post where I discussed it.  I keep saying I'm going to give it a try, but haven't yet.  Let me know if any of you have.

Many thanks Karen for your on going support!
