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.

Afghans for Pine Ridge (Ravelry Group completed Afghans with options for 6-8- and 12 inch squares)

Red Scarf Project (benefits kids transitioning out of foster care

Warm Up American (Benefits homeless and others in need, rectangles, hats and scarves, or make your own full afghan).

Knitting Aids Homeless Here at Bridge and Beyond

Thank you Pat C for this awesome donation of knitted goodies!  Pat has been very busy indeed.  Look at the nice collection of corner to corner knitted cotton washcloths...in the always famous Grandma's favorite pattern.  Lots of different colors.  

And hats, mittens and a scarf.  Please click to enlarge the picture so you can see the details.  The hats are a variety of sizes and colors, and styles.  Something for everyone.  

But.............. scroll down please
More hats and mittens.  Again a wide range of styles, colors, and sizes.  All the hats and mittens are nicely tagged with size.  Special thank you.  The hats that look long and skinny are super stretchy and so will fit a variety of head sizes.  Be sure and notice the gray in top right corner with a beautiful cable.  So well done.

Drum roll, this donation puts us over 100% of our goal for hats!!  Woot Woot!!  That's exciting, and look how we're doing on the mitten goal...this donation puts us slightly over 92%.  You know how excited I get when we get mittens.  

Folks I've been posting information about Bridge and Beyond since Nov 1st when the announcement was made about operations ceasing for Bridge and Beyond come Dec 31st of the year.  If you've missed reading those post, please scroll back to Nov 1 nd come forward.

We started small and grew.  And with our growth we were able to help more people in more shelters.  Over our 13 years we've accomplished quite a bit for a true grass roots charity with everyone pulling together.  Many thanks to you all.

Sunny Florida Helps Warm Ohio's Homeless.

Woot Woot.  Look at this awesome afghan.  It's lovely and crocheted in the very traditional granny style method with black edging and joining.  So many fun colors.  AND everyone loves a true granny square afghan.  These colors are perfect for men or women.  Our friend and long time supporter, Sandra R from sunny Florida has done it again with this generous donation of knitted and crocheted goodies.
She's knitted hats in a variety of colors and sizes, and her always popular mittens!!  She's also included the traditional Grandma's favorite (corner to corner) cotton washcloths in her donation, as well as scarves.  Something here for everyone.  Thank you for always tagging your hats with size; the volunteers at the shelters especially appreciate that.

We're hitting some fun milestones here folks with this donation.  Take a look at our goals for Cotton Cloths.......we just surpassed it!  AND look how close we are for both hats and mittens...in both cases we're only 13 from our goal.

I think we're going to end on a high note when Dec 31st rolls around and we close the book on Bridge and Beyond.  Have you read the important announcement?  If not, please click HERE and read

In our short almost month when we began in Dec of 2008 we donated 33 hats and 24 scarves, and now look at us.  Those were the items we started with and over the years we donated:
2008    33 Hats and  24 scarves
2009   335 Hats and 123 scarves
2010   592 Hats and 340 scarves
2011   969 Hats and 473 scarves
2012  1052 Hats and 666 scarves
2013  1053 Hats and 666 scarves
2014   971 Hats and  590 scarves
2015   468 Hats and  196 scarves
2016   516 Hats and  371 scarves
2017   371 Hats and  256 scarves
2018   270 Hats and  224 scarves
2019   300 Hats and  212 scarves
2020   351 Hats and  146 scarves
2021   310 Hats and  146 scarves............thus far, as of Oct 30th when this post was written.

So our biggest year for hats was 2013 with 1,053 and our lowest year for hats was 2018 with 270.  That's a whopping 7,591 hats that we've knitted and or crocheted and donated since Dec of 2008.  Think of the 7,591 warmer heads.  Together we all accomplished that.

And our best years for scarves were both 2012 and 2013 with 666 each year.  Our lowest was 2009 with 123.  And our total to date of knitted/crocheted scarves if 4,433.  I wear scarves a lot, so truly know how much warmer those 4,433 people were.  I hope you're all smiling and nodding in agreement.

So while we may be winding down the year and our work with Bridge and Beyond will be ending Dec 31st of this year; each and every person who participated throughout these past 13 years should feel very good about the people that were warmed by our hand crafted goodies.

A Generous Donation of Knitted Warmth for the Homeless

WOW!  2 boxes!  Phyllis G, has been very busy and has knitted lots of goodies to donate.  In this first picture she has the always popular cotton washcloths.  As you know, they are used in a variety of ways.  Folks getting a shower at a shelter often get one...so much softer than a store bought cloth.  They're put into welcome home bags for folks when they transition from shelter to a more permanent housing situation and can be used as a dish cloth or personal wash cloth, and our friends living out in the elements get good use from them as well.

She's also included scarves with matching hats, mittens and slippers!  And you all know how excited I get when we get mittens!!  Way to go Phyllis.  
I do hope you've scrolled down, cause there's more!!  More mittens, scarves, hats, and slippers.  This group is a larger size than the first picture.  Awesome to have a variety of sizes and colors.  Some perfect for the younger set, some for women, some for men and some that work for either a man or a woman.  But... scroll some more, please.
I told you, there were two boxes of donations.  I can only put so many in one photograph in order for you to see them.  And remember, you can always click pictures to enlarge them.

Thank you Sandra R for this awesome donation of knitted and crocheted goodies!!  Sandra's been very busy knitting her famous mittens!!  YIPPEE!!  You all know how excited I get when we get mittens.  She's sent a nice variety of sizes and colors in her mittens and her hats!  All tagged with size.  She's included cotton washcloths in her knitted donations.
And she's included a crocheted afghan.  Please click to see the details of this stitch.  Not sure if I would call this a fan stitch or a shell stitch...probably the later?  It's sized to work for any adult, and is so nice and soft.  Someone's going to be very happy to be snuggled up in this beauty.

Many thanks Sandra for your long time support of Ohio's homeless here on Bridge and Beyond, and for sending sunshine from Florida in your packages!

Folks, I'ld like to ask you all to mark your calendars and not mail donations for the month of February of next year, 2022.  Mail before or after.  Thank you.

Lots of Hats for Homeless and More


Many thanks Sandra R for this generous donation of knitted goodies.  She's been busy knitting hats, cotton washcloths, and scarves and mittens.  

Please click to enlarge so you can see details.  Each hat is nicely tagged with size.  Sandra has a variety of hat styles, colors, and sizes.......something to fit all heads.  Some colors work nicely for women, others for men, and some can be either or.  If you look closely you'll see there are some sets with matching hat and mittens.  YIPPEE for mittens.

Sandra must have included some sunshine for me in her donation cause we've had some nice weather lately.  Sure hope that continues.  A week ago we were still getting nights below freezing; but lately not...so have my toes and fingers crossed.

Please notice our hat goal graph.  With these hats we're now over 50% of the way to our goal!

Many thanks Sandra for your long time support of Bridge and Beyond, please keep up the good work.

New Helping Hands Aid The Homeless

Thank you Pat C for this awesome donation of knitted goodies.  Please say hi and welcome Pat C, our newest pair of helping hands.  As you can those helping hands have been very very busy indeed.

Pat has knitted hats, scarves, and mittens.  You know I'm dancing in the streets...as I always do when we get a donation of mittens.  Please click to enlarge the picture so you can see the details.  There are sets with matching hats and mittens, there are sets with matching mittens, hats and scarves, and there are sets with matching hats and scarves; plus others.  All nicely tagged with size!!  Fabulous.  There's such a nice color selection as well.  Truly something for everyone in need.

Pat also included a large package of socks in her donation.  With this dozen socks are sock numbers continue to climb, past our goal.  I'm very excited by that.  Warm, dry feet is a wonderful thing for everyone, and can be the difference between freezing or getting sick.

Take a look at our numbers for mittens!  We're almost at 50% there, another very exciting statistic when we add these 9 pairs.  

Many thanks for your generous donation Pat, sure hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond.

Helping the Homeless A Worthy Cause

Look who's been busy!  Our good friend Sandra R from the sunny state of Florida.  Please click to see everything, as I had to take photo a little father away than normal to get it all in.  WOW!

Sandra has knitted up a storm with hats, scarves (some are sets nicely put together), cotton wash cloths, and of course Mittens!

Lots of wonderful colors, some suited to the ladies, some to the men, and some that work for either.  Lots of variety in sizes also to warm many different sized people in need.  All hats nicely tagged with size......YIPPEE!!

AND in the upper right corner, notice a lavender bag?  Several people of late have been including canvass totes or similar material.  What a great idea.  Folks living in shelters and the elements often need to move around to stay safe.  So, having a bag can be very helpful.  After a couple of people included bags with their donations I looked around and found several here I wasn't using and added them to my last delivery to Homeless Families Foundation last week.  

Many thanks Sandra for your long time support and your always generous donations.  You've made an important difference in the lives of many.  Keep up the good work.

Grandma and Granddaughter Team Up to aid the Homeless


Thank you Janis F for this thoughtful donation of crocheted goodies.  Janet has hats of varying sizes here to fit a variety of head sizes, AND she's added nice size tags which helps everyone.  Helps those at the shelters get items to the right people and helps those receiving them get them easier and quicker.  She's included personal items, a package of those combo glove/mittens, and socks, and a totebag which will be handy for folks trying to keep their few things together ...whether they are living in the elements, or spending nights at a shelter.

I want to also thank Janis's granddaughter who's in the 10th grade.  Her granddaughter helps her with washing, and tagging some of the crocheted items, and uses her own money to purchase some of the personal care items.  Love seeing kids/teens get involved with helping others.  Well done, and what a nice team effort.  

As always, please click the picture to enlarge it so you can see the details.  I really like the textured stitches Janis used in her hats and it's nice to have a color variety as well.

Many thanks Janis and granddaughter, please keep up the good work and know you've made an important difference in the lives of those less fortunate.

Donations from Sunny Florida Help Ohio's Homeless, Thank You!

Thank you Sandra R for this awesome and very generous donation of knitted and crocheted goodies!   As you can our good friend and long time supporter, Sandra R from Florida has been very busy.  I've said before I don't think the woman sleeps, and or that her needles and hooks must be smoking for the speed and volume of her donations.  I'm tired just looking at them.  She's knitted the always popular corner to corner cotton washcloth, often referred to as Grandma's favorite.

She'd knitted a variety of sizes and styles and colors of hats.  AND thank you for taking the time to tag all your hats with size, it really helps the volunteers get items to those in need faster. 
AND......you know how excited I get when we get mittens.  Again, she's provided a good variety of sizes and colors and taken time to tag them all with size!!  YIPPEE!!  There are more hats in this 2nd picture and some crocheted scarves as well.

Awesome and generous, many thanks Sandra for all you do.  Please know how much it is appreciated by many.

Keep up the good work.

Knitting and Crocheting in Sunny Florida Helps Ohio's Homeless

 Thank you Sandra R from Florida for this awesome and very generous donation of crocheted and knitted goodies.  This afghan.......WOW, it's a beauty.  Crocheted.  This is probably the most traditional crocheted afghan that exists, the granny squares all different colors.  It's probably how people used up everything they had...all their left overs from socks, hats, scarves, sweaters etc.  
 This is also a granny square crocheted afghan, but a newer type pattern.  I love this and know every young girl/teen and most women LOVE purple and lavender.  Sooooooooo pretty.
 Sandra isn't sleeping.  Seriously...she must be up all hours of the night to get this much done.  Isn't this an interesting technique.  Yes, this is another example of granny squares, but I don't know what the technique is that incorporates color work like this.  Is it intarsia? 
 Don't go away, there's more!  This is the same style afghan as above, but with 3 colors.......it looks like Buckeye Colors to me.  Scarlet and gray with the white.  These afghans have a lot of texture.  Please click to enlarge the photo, so you can see the details.
 AND.........this one is knitted in the very traditional log cabin style, which I always Love......who doesn't.  These afghans vary a bit in size, color, but all beautifully made.  And all of these will be loved by those that receive them.  Sandra, you truly amaze me.
She also included knitted hats, knitted cotton wash cloths, and mittens......and scarves in her donation.  Whew.......I'm tired just looking at it all.  The hats and mittens are all nicely tagged with size.  

Thank you, Thank you Sandra for your skillful hands and big heart.  Please know how much you are appreciated.

As always, keep up the good work!  You Rock!!!!!!!!!

Awesome Donation from Sunny Florida Helps Ohio's Homeless

Thank you, thank you Sandra R for this awesome donationApologies folks, this picture and that of another donation (which will be the post after this), were in no mans land...somehow I didn't have them on my phone any longer and couldn't find them on the computer after transferring them there.  YIPPEE I found them.

This awesome donation of knitted mittens, hats, and scarves come from our good friend Sandra R from the sunny state of Florida.  Poor Florida right now is having a bad time of it with the Covid, please stay safe Sandra.  Ohio is getting worse each day also, but Florida increases seem worse.

Sandra has been one of our long time supporters here on Bridge and Beyond and her mad knitting skills........particularly with mittens always has been clapping and or dancing in the street.  

I also love how she includes such variety in styles, sizes, and colors with her hats, and always tags them with size, which really aids the volunteers and workers at the shelters.  Right now even more so, as I actually need to make an appointment to do deliveries, with their limited hours to help protect their employees and those they/we serve.  

As always Sandra, many thanks and know you truly make a difference.

Donation from Maryland Helps Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Patricia W from the state of Maryland, The Old Line State.  Patricia is our newest pair of helping hands.  We're thrilled to have you join us.  Periodically I add the nickname of the state our folks come from.  Not sure I've ever looked up Maryland before because I sure don't remember The Old Line State.  Google tells me it's so named because of George Washington referring to the Regular Line, military men from Maryland who fought so well.  Who knew?

Patricia has been very busy with her crochet hook making hats, and scarves.  She also included a headband/ear-warmer and pair of black ladies gloves that will help keep someone's hands warm.

Please click to enlarge so you can see the details.  On the left side and very top of the picture there are scarves which look like squares, they're just folded so I could get everything in one picture.  These little scarves will be good for the younger set.

Thank you Patricia for your thoughtful donation, welcome to the group, and please know you've made an important difference in the lives of those who will receive your hand made 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?
