Yarn Balls a Plenty
Thank you Sandra L, fellow Ohioan for this thoughtful donation of yarn. Sandra L and I know each other from a love of history and of graveyards. Now that might sound a bit odd, but a group of folks whom initially met on line through find a grave, get together periodically and tromp graveyards. It was on such a tromp through Green Lawn Cemetery here in Columbus where I first met Sandy. She's a walking history book and is very involved with a special program they have called, First Saturday. If you're interested in history or enjoy the peace, serenity, or beautiful art work an old cemetery such as Green Lawn has, I encourage you to go.
Sandy is a fellow crocheter who can no longer crochet due painful hands. She recently cleaned out some closets and asked if I could some yarn? LOL, if you know me, or have read this blog before you know the answer to that question. She and I recently got together and had breakfast, visited and I found a home for her yarn balls. Lots of colors, I may start a scrappy ghan, or I may use these colorful balls of yarn to make some of those wrists warmers I posted the pattern for yesterday. In fact, I think that's a perfect use. Thank you Sandy for the yarn donation. I'm sorry you can no longer crochet; but know that your donation will serve others. Adding Wrist Warmers/Fingerless gloves to our actual count now.

I guess I call them Fingerless Gloves. You should be able to make many gloves with this beautiful selection of yarn. Have fun. Beautiful donation Sandra
I too enjoy cemetaries, and have spent many hours walking through the Union Cemetary in Louisville, Ohio. Very historical and interesting place.:+)
That is so sweet of you Sandy L to give your yarn to Bridge and Beyond. I know that it will be put to good use and used for many items or one very nice afghan for the homeless.
