Look at the Wonderful colors in this corner to corner crochet afghan. This beautiful afghan comes from the hook of our good friend and long time supporter, Sandra R from the Sunshine State of Florida. I love corner to corner ghans...haven't made one in awhile and this is pushing me to perhaps do another one soon. It's nice and warm, size well for people to stay warm. I know whomever receives this afghan will feel the love.
AND...look at the wonderful knitted hats, and mittens she's also been busy working on. You know how excited I get when we get mittens........super excited really! Please remember folks to click on the pictures to make them larger in order that you can see the details of each other's stitching. Look at the variety of hat styles Sandra has included in her donation for Ohio's Homeless. Very nice indeed, and in the middle of the picture is a scarf in wonderful shaded colors of gray, blue and purple.
Thank for this thoughtful and generous donation Sandra, and please keep up the good work.

LOVE this fun afghan. Look at all the colors...bits of this, bits of that, solids, and variegated colors. Truly a little of everything. So fun, so bright, and very cheery. Thank you AnnaMarie from New York for this delightful crocheted afghan. When I opened it, it really made me smile.
Keep scrolling folks, after making such a fun afghan, she's not done. 3 Wonderful scarves in this picture. I'm particularly fond of the green one in the middle. I love how the shading changes. Must be one of those new cakes of yarn that do that........very nice. Scarves are nice and big/long so folks can really wrap up to stay warm. She's also included 13 pairs of socks to help keep feet warm and dry. AND crocheted cotton washcloths. Everyone loves the cotton wash cloths. So many uses. Wait...scroll some more.
More crocheted cotton washcloths, more socks, another wonderful colored scarf, hats and fingerless gloves. She has been very busy with her crochet hook. Whew...rest up now AnnaMarie...Many thanks for this wonderful donation of crocheted goodies to help Ohio's Homeless through Bridge and Beyond.
Please keep up the good work.

Jeweled Lines is done...except I need to finish tucking in the ends, launder and block. I've been way laid doing that...
Some person care items I collected during out recent trip to Park City, Utah. I always collect jazz when we travel.
This is the afghan I'm currently working on. The bottom block has the blue from the recent donation of yarn from Gail B (scroll back to previous post if you missed it). This ghan will have lots of different colors, will not have a pattern to it, won't have equal amounts of color in each block, or even the same colors in each block. This afghan is called Cardiac Collage. I've been blogging about it on my person blog, Sandy's Space. It's titled Cardiac Collage as I grabbed 2 skeins of yarn or parts there off when hubby and I were off to the ER recently. He had a cardiac event. I spent time there in the ER and subsequent day in his hospital room just knitting, with really no great plan in place. The blog upper right with dark purple as a big part of the block, and 2 stripes of orange was the start and is the yarn I had with me at the time. Cardiac events are
helter skelter...so, the afghan will be too.
One block currently doesn't any yellow in it, one doesn't have any turqoise, 3 don't have orange but have peach, 3 with orange have o peach, 2 don't have lavendar, and currently only one has tan and blue. Plan to add blue and tan to a couple , but don't want it to always been close to the edge...so will start 3 more blocks where I put those perhaps more in the middle...and red only in 3 ..will add some red in the new blocks too. Using up odds and ends in part
Was nice to have something portable to tote during the hospital stay.

Look what our good friend, and long time supporter Gail B sent! Look at this yarn. So soft, such nice colors. Kinda a brown tweedy, some mixed with blue, and some solid blue. This is really nice yarn, bulky I believe by feel. Will make some nice scarves, or afghan........hum, wonder what it will call out to be. It's not stack very nice, just layed out, as it was a wee bit damp. We had such a thunderstorm, I had to immediately open this and lay it out to be sure it got dry. Thankfully it was very well boxed up and it didn't sit on the porch long before we got home. Normally my neighbor...greatest neighbor ever would have taken it in. Am soooooooooo disappointed he just moved. Even his young daughter said, but Daddy...what about Sandy's packages. If we move who will take care of them. How sweet is that!
Off to the right is cotton that can be used for washcloths.
There were several packages, and this was delivered a day or two before the storm so no need to lay out to dry. Look at the wonderful colors. Some of this is chunky and some if worsted weight. I've already put to use one of the blue skeins in the middle of the back to add to an afghan I'm currently working on. I'll post a picture in the next post, so please come and see Gail's yarn already in the works.

This beautiful crocheted afghan is a continuation of Lisa N's latest donation to Bridge and Beyond. Scroll back please if you missed the previous post to see how busy she has been with her crochet hook.
This afghan is sooooo nice and soft, so comforting it will be a prized possession to the family who receives it. I really like this color combination, it's so peaceful looking, very comforting to my way of thinking. It's sized so nicely a whole family will really be able to enjoy it.
Many thanks again Lisa for your generosity, and for your door to door delivery. Please keep up the good work and know your kindness will be put a smile on someone's face.

Our friend Lisa N. has been very busy. Look at this nice selection of personal care items, hats, scarves, socks, and crocheted cotton wash cloths! A couple of the hats and scarves are sets, that's always a bonus. A very generous donation indeed. AND special thanks for the door to door delivery Lisa.
But...wait, she's not done.
Looks at this pretty afghan! Remember folks you can always click on the pictures here on Bridge and Beyond to enlarge the picture. I often encourage you to do that so you can see the details in each others work. This blue will work for anyone, male or female of any age. Very nice. I think...maybe each panel was made...like making a scarf, then edged and joined?? If so, what a nice way to make ones work a bit more portable.
Thank you Lisa and please keep up the good work and know YOU make an important difference.

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.
