Two Crocheted Afghans from New York Help Ohio's Homeless

 Thank you Annemarie from New York for these beautiful and colorful crocheted afghans.  Folks, please click to enlarge.  This particular afghan is truly made like a quilt.  Notice the corners of each square and how with the changing color it would be like tying the knots in the corners of a quilt.  Really nicely done.  This bright and cheery afghan will surely put a smile on the lucky recipeants face.

And...the always popular ripple in nice spring colors.  Both afghans are soft, warm, pretty and are sized nicely for a family to enjoy snuggling in.

As always Annemarie, we appreciate your long term and on going support of Bridge and Beyond and Ohio's Homeless.  Please keep up the good work!

Afghans Give Hope and Warmth

Look at this very pretty cheerful afghan our good friend and long time supporter AnneMarie from NY crocheted and donated.  It's gorgeous!  Such a pretty afghan and makes me think of sunshine and spring...oh come on Spring.  Afghans provide warmth for sure, but they also provide hope for a brighter future and congratulations on the next phase of your life to our families through Homeless Families Foundation.  As most of you know, families receive afghans when they transition from shelter living to a permanent housing situation.

AND she's been busy knitting and crocheting hats, scarves and fingerless gloves!  Awesome donation that will reach many people in need.  Thank you AnneMarie for your thoughtfulness, your ongoing support of Ohio's Homeless and your generosity.

Donation

Day #4, A-Z challenge = D= Donation.

What is a donation?  Google says it's a noun, it's origin is Latin, and it means the act of giving, especially to a charity, a contribution.  Our donations from Bridge and Beyond  for those living outside in the elements, those living day to day in various shelters give hope.  My google search tells me a Butterfly is the symbol for Hope.  I believe we give hope as well as physical warmth with our donations of hand crafted items.  Being cold, hungry...a person needs hope.

Many people immediately think of money when someone says the word donation.  Donations can be varied.  Donations can be money, they can be time, they can be products, they can be a combination of all 3.  We don't collect or donate money here on Bridge and Beyond.  We do donate our time...the time it takes to knit or crochet a hat, the time it takes to read or write blog posts, the time it takes to read or write blog comments.  We also donate products...ie, the finished work....the hat, the scarf or pair of mittens.  We donate personal care items and socks, those too are products.

Some folks may have the ability to donate more, some don't.  It's not the volume that's important, it's that we donate.  And truly every bit of it, every completed work, every minute of time spent...it all counts for something good.

Can you donate?  You don't have to be able to knit or crochet to donate.  You can donate socks, and or personal care items.  You can donate yarn, or postage to a friend who's donating through knitting and crocheting.  You can donate your time to read and posts comments to support those who are knitting and crocheting, you can help spread the word.  Please do what you can.  Please donate to those less fortunate, if not here on Bridge and Beyond, locally.  Every donation matters to someone!

Thank you AnneMarie for this awesome donation of personal care items.  What a fabulous donation.  These are all Avon products she purchased from our other good friend, Sherry K.  What a win win donation.  Personal Care items are needed all year long for men, and women.  Those in shelters as well as those living out in the elements are always in need.

Keep up the good work AnneMarie from New York!

Warming the Homeless Through Crochet

 AnneMarie, do you sleep?  Seriously you must crochet with the fastest hook around.  Hats to fit many different sized heads, in lots of different colors!  Many thanks also AnneMarie for tagging all your hats with size, it really is so very helpful.  There are solids, darks, brighter colors too.  Some hats perfectly suited to the menfolk, others great for the ladies, and some for teens as well.

She's also crocheted some scarves!  A marvelous and caring donation to help many people in need.

Crocheted Afghans for Homeless Families Foundation

 Bright and Beautiful!  Many thanks to our good friend AnneMarie from New York for crocheting and donating this colorful afghan.  Look at all the colors!  It's a ripple and everyone loves a ripple.  This is less pointed then a ripple and looks like soft waves to me.  Truly lovely.

This beautiful turquoise shell stitch afghan is soooooooo pretty.  Do click on both pictures folks so you can see the details of these beautiful afghans AnneMarie has crocheted.  Can you imagine the smiles of the lucky recipients!

Team Crocheting Aids the Homeless

 This afghan is the result of what I call team crochet.  A good friend of ours from New York, AnneMarie made these lovely squares, and another good friend of ours Sherry K, a fellow Buckeye edged and assembled the afghan.  What a beautiful result.  You might have seen this afghan earlier on Sherry's blog.  I love the jewel tones, it reminds me of a kaleidoscope.  Great work ladies!

Sherry's also been busy crocheting hats, slippers and a scarf .  Many thanks Sherry for tagging the hats and slippers with size, much appreciated.

Both Sherry and AnneMarie have been long time supporters of Bridge and Beyond, thrilled to have them with us.  Not too long ago, I posted a retro Avon's Calling post.  In addition to crocheting for those in need, Sherry's an Avon Representative.  I suggested you all might like to double your help by buying Avon from Sherry.  How does that help double?  Well, when you buy from Sherry, you give her the ability to get more yarn which turns into helping more people.  AND, you could even order personal care items from Sherry for the homeless here on Bridge and Beyond and help both with her Avon=yarn, and the personal care items needed for the shelters.

Or perhaps you need to do some Christmas Shopping.........Sherry's Avon Page is linked above.

Everyone Loves Cotton Washcloths made by Hand

Look at this fun and cherry assortment of crocheted cotton washcloths from our good friend Annemarie!   I think she managed to hit every possible color combination with her cotton.  This are always a hit at all the shelters and are used both as washcloths and discloths.   In addition to donation of cotton washcloths Annemarie's sent personal care items.  Both those living in the elements on the street and those in the shelters are in need of personal care items and the cotton washcloths.

Many thanks Annemarie for your thoughtful donation, and your on going support of Homeless and those i need in Ohio.  We so appreciate  you.

**Folks please remember not to knot and cut with knitted or crocheted items.  Knots are always the weakest link in any garment or project.  Always leave tails when changing colors or adding yarn and work in your tails to avoid raveling.**

Slipper, Socks, Poncho's aid the Homeless

Thank you AnneMarie for your on going support of Bridge and Beyond.  AnneMarie has been with us for a good while and is always very generous and very supportive.  She's crocheted 10 pairs of slippers in various sizes, and labeled them with size.  She also included personal care items in her donation for the homeless, as well as poncho's.  The plastic poncho's are always so well received.  Trying to stay dry, even when the weather's warmer isn't all that easy to do when you're out in the elements. 

And wet feet, never good so the socks she also donated are awesome.  As always, many thanks and please keep up the good work AnneMarie!

**Reminder folks to avoid using novelty yarns and suede, avoid using white, beige and other pastels, avoid lots of stripes (solids are always better for all ages), avoid bright colors as homeless do not like to call attention to themselves (with the outside garmets like hats and scarves)...so the nice darker colors are always preferred AND they don't show the dirt as much.  Please label all hats, mittens, and slippers with size.**

Woot Woot!  People who help the homeless with their skilled hands and yarn make me smile.  Thank you Annemarie from New York, once again for your thoughtfulness with the vast donation of crocheted goodies.  If you've been reading this blog while you know Annemarie is a wonderful supportor giving us her time and talent.

These has, slippers, scarves, and mittens will put many smiles on faces of people less fortunate then us.  We physical warm people with our crafted donations certainly.  But, we also warm their souls when they know someone they didn't know took time to hand make something special for them.

Please keep up the good work!

Though it is spring (and now the font changes back?), it is still cold here many days and nights.  Sitting inside right now with cold feet and a fleece on if that gives you any ideas.  Donations are still needed.  So thanks to all whom are keeping their yarn and hands busy.

As some of your know I recently returned from a trip abroad, first ever!  Hubby and I were fortunate enough to travel to Spain.  It was truly an awesome experience.  Love to share it all with you, and am blogging about it everyday this month (May) on Traveling Suitcase.  Come explore with me, travel virtually while you knit and crochet.
