Afghans Galore and More to aid Ohio's Homeless


Thank you !  Sandra R from sunny Florida has been SUPER busy.  I wonder if she takes time eat or sleep.  The two tone Entrelac Knit Afghan is one of things she's busy making to donate to Bridge and Beyond to aid Ohio's Homeless and those in need.


This garter stitch knitted ripple (or wave stitch) is yet another item keeping her busy.  Please remember to click photo's to enlarge them so you can see the details, you don't want to miss anything.  This will work for a man or a woman in this color scheme.

This 2 tone green and white Entrelac Knitted Afghan will also work for a man or a woman.  And is sized such that it could be a nice family sized ghan.  I love the design.  This is not a stitch I have yet knitted myself...have any of you?

AND drum roll please for her 4th afghan.  See I told you she's been super busy.  And who doesn't like blue.  Whomever receives these ghans, be it a family, or man, or a woman is going to be very happy indeed.  And Warm.

But, it doesn't stop there.  Super busy knitting cotton washcloths and crocheting scarves in a variety of colors to warm men or women.  Again remember to click to enlarge so you can see all the texture she's created with her crochet hook in these scarves.

AND now she's back to her knitting needles with hats in many styles and colors and MITTENS!!  Stay a little longer please and keep scrolling.

PLEASE keep checking in, as I will continue to show donations coming in, and provide listings of charities you might like to support after operations cease here on Bridge and Beyond come Dec .31.  Please remember the last date to mail donations is the 24th of Dec.

Some of the charities aid the homeless, some pregnant women, some kids transitioning out of foster care, and native Americans on Pine Ridge Reservation.  Locations vary, so you might find one of the charities listed is in your area, or close to you like a border state; making postage perhaps less costly.

Below is the listing with a very brief description, but PLEASE click on the links to see details about what they accept, what fiber to use, who benefits from the charity and where to mail items.

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?
