Donated Yarn to Bridge and Beyond Helps the Homeless

 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.

**The counts on our progress bars are current. All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.

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.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
