Thank you Karen S, Crocheted Scarves Help the Homeless

Thank you Karen S!  I bet by now most of you who frequent my blog, Bridge and Beyond are able to recognize Karen's donations before I give her name!  Her signature stitch, is very recognizable.  I've posted video's a few times of how to do this stitch of many names.

Seriously this stitch is known by lots of different names:
Cro-hooking
Crochenit
Reversable Tunisian Crochet
Double Ended Crochet.........are just some of them.  Click here for the video if  you've not watched before or want to see how it's done.

Karen has also included a toothbrush and paste.  Which brings me to something about personal care items I thought I would pass along to you all.  I've often mentioned collecting those little samples as you travel for leisure or business.......I've done it myself often when traveling; but........apparently some hotel chains are starting to do away with that for environmental reasons.  In an effort to reduce the plastic, they are going for larger, refillable containers with soap, shampoo and conditioner.  I know Marriott has announced that it's phasing it in and I've seen in thus far in a few hotels in my travels.  I'm not familiar with others; but thought I would mention it here, so you can at least be aware.  Due to being members, we always stay at Marriott's.  I would imagine other chains are doing the same thing?

Many thanks Karen for your donation, and your on going support of Bridge and Beyond and Ohio's homeless.  Please know we truly appreciate you, and your skillful hands.  Please keep as the good work and know you do make a difference in the lives of many.
