LOVE the colors in the soft warm afghan. Knitted in the corner to corner method (like Grandma's favorite dishcloth pattern). Such a pretty color combination, it makes me think of the ocean. This knitted afghan is being donated by our long time and always generous supporter, Sandra R from the sunny state of Florida.
AND so it this earthy color combination. This too is the corner to corner style Some beige, off white, gray's and very light purple/lavender. Sandra luckily escaped the fears of the most recent hurricane, Dorian as it didn't hit Florida as predicted. What a huge relief. We're grateful you and your family and friends are safe and out of harms way.
Don't blink twice folks. Yes, this is another corner to corner knitted afghan from our friend Sandra R. The colors look quite similar to the one above but aren't the same. There's some blue in this one and more tan, I think. This gives you an idea of the size of the ghans. I was having trouble laying them out due to my space at the time I did the photo's, thus some are folded a bit.
Now, if you're like me; you've decided by this time our friend Sandra R from Florida doesn't sleep. You've also decided like me, she knits and or crochets all night long. Yes...this is a 4th afghan. This is the ever popular ripple and is crocheted. Does she eat or sleep? I don't know, but she's been very very busy with her yarn and hooks, and needles. This ripple is a full size afghan, the corner to corner are a bit more like a large lapghan I think. All will be loved, and all will keep someone warm. I LOVE LOVE the colors in this one.
AND....hope you're still with me. This is a shell stitch design crocheted afghan of blues and tans. Great colors for men or women. I am truly in awe of how much she has been able to produce. Thinking about it makes my arthritis hurt; but am so happy she's able to do this for Bridge and Beyond and all those we support
If you're counting, this if her 6th afghan. This too is crocheted using the same shell stitch as above but a different color combination. Ok, earlier I said/wondered aloud if she sleeps or eats,...well know I wonder if she even takes bathroom breaks. Her hook and needles must be like the Ever Ready Bunny...they keep going and going and going............
AND going!. Similar colors to blue and tanish shell design, but this afghan is crocheted using good old double crochet.
As of the publishing of this post, these afghans have already been delivered to Homeless Families Foundation and are probably already making people in need happy. Posts are written and scheduled to post...thus when you read this post........the donations will have already been delivered.
Many many thanks Sandra R for you long time support of Bridge and Beyond, your huge heart in helping homeless in need, and in your phenomenal talents.
**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.
Color me impressed! I like that simple double-crocheted gray/blue/tan one - looks like it would be easy to wrap up in and not worry about wanting to display it instead. :D
ReplyDeleteYou are appropriately colored impressed....me too Karla.
DeleteWow. Those are amazing! It must have cost a fortune to mail those to you. That is usually my hesitation with things like afghans. It costs so much to mail. But so much need! Kudos to Sandra R. What a lot of work! Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandie for the visit, right you are on postage and her beautiful work.
DeleteSandra R is my hero. Gorgeous blankets!
ReplyDeleteDitto flowerlady, I totally agree.
