Donations from Otterbein's Stitches to Share

This wonderful donation comes from many hands.  A group called Stitches to Share at Otterbein College in Westerville knitted, crocheted and collected this donation.  Students, and faculty gather in library on campus to knit and crochet for charity.  They spread their donations out among lots of different charities.  They teach folks to knit and crochet as well, so even if you think you can't help...they bridge that gap by teaching their crafts to others.  In addition they often have donated yarn they share with those wanting to join in.

I meant Penny S at an agreed upon location to collect this donation from her.  I appreciated her suggestion to meet up, it saved me from driving there.  Plus, it's always nice to meet like minded people.

Many thanks Penny and Stitches to Share for this thoughtful donation.  Please keep up the good work!

Donations from Stitches to Share

Stitches to Share is a group recently formed at Otterbein University in Columbus, Ohio. The group is comprised of knitters, crocheters, and those who wish to learn the craft. There are students, faculty, and staff members involved. It's opened to men and women in greater Otterbein Community. I'm honored to say, Bridge and Beyond is their first charity group to stitch for. Through their mutual love of helping others, they've come together...once again proving how much can be accomplished by caring people.
Their thoughtful donations include: head bands, wrist warmers, neck warmers, slippers, scarves and hats! Some are knitted, some are crocheted, some are knitted on looms. A variety of colors, styles, and sizes. Thank you Otterbein Community, thank you Stitches to Share. Hope to see you all often here on Bridge and Beyond. Keep up the good work. We're thrilled to have you join us, and wish you continued luck in growing your marvelous group.

The group meets in college library, where Judy, The Liberian joins in with her knitting needles. Colette organizes the group. Join them in the library or on line on Facebook.
