Hats for Homeless, Welcome Becky P

Thank you Becky for your thoughtful donation of hats.  Two of her hats are crocheted and one is knitted.  I particularly like the texture in the knitted hat (lower right in the picture). Becky used fiber from a sweater to make 2 of the hats....how cool is that folks!


Please keep up the good work.

Donating Knitted Adorable and Warm Hats, AWESOME

Our friend Becky P from Washington (ppeatknits on RAV), has done it again. Look at these adorable knitted hats! Wonderfully made, cute as can be and such fun cherry colors! Not sure what type of yarn Becky used, but these hats are soooooooooo nice and soft, the kids who wear them will love them for sure. They'll be warm and cozy and be stylin!

I love how people in the knitting, crocheting, and looming communities connect. Becky and I both knit in a charity group called The Oddball Baby Blankets and got acquainted through that group on RAV, and she then extended her charity knitting to include our need here on Bridge and Beyond. I love that. It happens frequently with our on line friends.

Many thanks Becky, keep up the good work!

Much excitement in the charity world

Folks donations are coming in daily. Many many thanks to all who crochet and or knit, who've helped to spread the word etc. I'm hearing from new helping hands which tells me the word of our need is getting out there. I can't tell you how pleased that makes me.

Still looking to connect with a Becky P, from I believe the state of Washington in order to say thanks. Her donation came, has been photographed etc, but I can't find whom she is to say thank you. Does anyone know her, have an email ady or blog url? Is she in one of your charity groups? Please let me know Her thoughtful donation is HERE.

**just found Becky P, she's bpeatknits from RAV, yippee, one mystery solved. (added her to our members list



These 2 pictures are from someone in Thousand Oaks California. There is no name, no email ady, or blog url with this donation. The hats on the left are nice and thick, double yarn I think from the feel of it, and are crocheted. The items on and around Susie in the 2nd picture are also crocheted and will go to the clinic for younger kids. (the 2 small baby/infant hats will be passed along to the hospital, as babies aren't treated at the free clinic). Mia is our mystery person from Thousand Oaks, CA. Glad that's been solved. Thanks very much Mia for your donation.

PLEASE, a reminder folks to include your name, your email ady, and or blog url with your thoughtful donations. Some of you I know by blog nickname, some by email ady/avatars; and often folks use different names and ID's in a variety of charity groups. I want to properly thank and give credit to those helping hands; help me do that by including the information with your donation.
