Thank you Sandie P from Louisiana for this thoughtful donation. Folks Sandie is one of our most long term supporters of Bridge and Beyond. She and I have known each other on line through crochet groups for MANY years!! This is a crocheted chest warmer. Many years ago a mutual friend to Sandie P and I, Ghost made and donated a chest warmer. Sandie, as you might know is a Master Crocheter and often tests patterns that others write. Thus is the case with this chest warmer.
Our friend, Ghost is smiling from above no doubt that this many years she is still so fondly remembered. Sandie and I have discussed how this item is easy to make and quite versatile...in that you could leave as is above, or add buttons like Ghost did (follow link above), or use ties to join the garment. It certainly adds a layer of warm and makes sizing less of an issue.
Anyone wanting to make it really simple...how bout shoe strings for ties? Thank you Sandie for your work on this project and for bouncing ideas about how it could be used with me. Much Appreciated. Sandie's blog has lots of very helpful information folks, so please pop over for a visit.
As always, please keep up the good work and know YOU do make a difference.
**The counts on our progress bars are current.

Thanks for the kind words. I always enjoy sharing ideas and collaborating on projects, especially those meant to help others. I was happy to provide this chest warmer and hope to make more in future.
