On Going Generosity Helps the Homeless

Thank  you RoseMarie for your wonderful donation and your on going support of Bridge and Beyond.  Look at the cute round cotton washcloths.  She's also crocheted a matching set of wrists warmers and a hat with her always cute and signature details!

The bright green and orange ghan is perfectly timed for St. Patricks Day.  While this post is scheduled for just after the special day, the donation arrived just before and so is very timely.

As always RoseMarie, keep up the good work!

Crocheting to Help Homeless

Crocheted Cotton Washcloths, hats, mittens, scarves and personal care items...from quess who, lol.  You're right, from our good friend RoseMarie...you can tell right off the bat with her signature trim and embellishments.  LOVE the hat with the bobbles, click folks to enlarge and see the cute details.  Just realized I took the picture of the scarf on the wrong side folks, cause it too had a cute flower...from memory, I think it was yellow?  Didn't realize that.  Would re-take photo, but these nice items are already in the hands of someone in need, as I processed all the donations from when I was away one day, and made deliveries the very next day.

As always, RoseMarie, please keep up the good work.  We're thrilled to have you among us.

Folks the temps have been brutal here, as I know they have in other places as well.  How people survive in these conditions astounds me.  Please keep your needles and hooks busy, and please keep those less fortunate in your prayers.

Many thanks to you all.

Crocheting to Help the Homeless

Thank you RoseMarie for your on going support of Bridge and Beyond and your continuous generosity.  RoseMarie has crocheted slipper socks, cotton washcloths, and a cape/shawl that will put a smile on a girls/teen face on top of giving her needed warmth.  RoseMarie has also included personal care items.  Personal care items are always a huge hit wherever we donate them.

Keep up the good work RoseMarie.

Crocheting to Warm The Homeless

Thank you RoseMarie for this thoughtful donation of crocheted mittens, slipper-socks, cotton washcloths, hats and scarf set and personal care items.  RoseMarie is such a faithful supporter of Bridge and Beyond.  She recently designed a pair of wristwarmers/fingerless gloves to help our homeless here in Ohio.  I posted her pattern in both a blog post, and placed it in the mitten tab.  

As always, keep up the good work, we're thrilled to have you be part of Bridge and Beyond.

Wrist Warmers, Fingerless Gloves

Modeling with one hand and photographing with the other hand, sorry folks, that makes for not the best picture.  These are wrist warmers, recently designed by our good friend, and long time supporter, RoseMarie.  She has made them in past using double crochets and I asked if she (she's sooooooooo creative), could mess with the pattern and come up with one using sc?  And here you have the results.  I thought the single crochets would make them a bit more sturdy and warmer.  

Mittens is something we've never gotten enough of, in terms of our donations.  And while wrist warmers obviously aren't as warm as full mittens, I thought it might help us bridge the gap.  Mittens aren't the easiest to knit or crochet and not something many of us have the ability to do.  However, I think this is something many of us can do.  

Turning my hand over so you all can see the other side.  

Here's the pattern:
Chain 24 and join to form circle, being careful to not twist your chain.
Add marker so you can tell where the end of the row is, adds in counting rows.
Row 1: sc (single crochet) across to the end of row, do not increase, do not add extra sc when you would normally add when to go to the next row.  Stitch count remains 24.
Row 2: Repeat row 1 until 27 rows are complete.  Stitch count is still 24, no increases done.
Row 28: Form the thumb opening
sc across 20 stitches (4 stitches remain), chain 4 and join this chain to the end of the row.  Your chain 4 and the 4 remaining stitches are equal, and your stitch count is still 24.  No increases or decreases made.
Row 29: sc across row (stitch count 24) You will sc into the 4 chain stitches at your rows end
Row 30: repeat row 8 more times (a total of 9 rows from forming your thumb opening).
After completing row 37, bind off.
Using a darning needle work your tail in.

RoseMarie used an I hook in this example.  It very nicely fits me.  I'm a small woman.

Using a larger hook would make the wrist warmers larger, using a smaller hook would make them smaller.  Would think we could play with adding a few stitches if we want to fit a man.  Using too large a hook might make them less warm, as they would be more open??

Thank you RoseMarie for your dedication.  You are a AWESOME.

Yarn used, regular worsted weight.

Crocheting and Donating to those in Need

Thank you RoseMarie for your ongoing support of our cause here on Bridge and Beyond.  RoseMarie has been a long time and regular supporter with her crochet hook and big heart.  We've all come to know her donations on site, hat and scarf sets, always with details and trims, and always for the ladies.  She has included some personal care items as well.  

In the coming days, I'll be posting a pattern she's created for single crochet writs warmers/fingerless gloves.  It will be added to patterns that can be used on the mitten page.  We never get enough mittens, and while full mittens are certainly warmer, folks who can't make mittens might be able to help out with the writs warmers.  Please stay tuned.  

Thank you RoseMarie and please keep up the good work.

Personal Care Items Always a BIG hit with those in Need

This thoughtful crocheted donation comes from our good friend and loyal supporter RoseMarie from Tennessee.  No doubt many of you knew that immediately when you saw her signature decorations on the slippers.  RoseMarie has donated slippers, cotton washcloths, personal care items and slipper socks (the tube shaped item).  As I type this she's busy designing a pattern I'll soon be adding to the mittens tab, please keep checking in.

Mittens are always an item we don't get enough off, and they're an item not the easiest for many of us to make, knit or crochet.  She's been working on converting writs warmers/fingerless gloves from double crochet to single crochet to add warmth.  My thought was that for those living in the shelters these would be a welcome item and perhaps help stretch the mittens.  Naturally they'll not be as warm as a full pair of gloves or mitts, but an item I thought more of us would be inclined/able to make.

Stay tuned, and as always RoseMarie, please keep up the good work.

Signature Donations for the Homeless

Thank you RoseMarie for your thoughtful donation and your on going support of Bridge and Beyond.  RoseMarie has crocheted and donated a matching hat and scarf set with her signature flower once again.  I know you all know immediately who's donation it is when I post a picture of something she's made.  LOVE this color combination RoseMarie, in fact it might be my favorite of your donations.  She's also crocheted a handband with a decoration as well.

Like Diana K in yesterday's post, there will be additional pictures and posts to show you the rest of RoseMarie's donation.  I often crowd as much as possible into a picture and believe you can see things better if I reduce the number of items in a photo.  So, to improve upon the photo's and to increase the number of blogs posts, since donations are down I'll be breaking things up a bit.  So, please keep checking in folks and don't be shy, when you visit, PLEASE leave a comment so we now you were here.  Visits and comments help the blog's placements, as do the number of blog posts.

Looking back to this time last year folks (on September 16th), 2013 we had knitted and crocheted and donated 377 scarves.  To date we're at 312, 65 short of last years mark.  Wondering what to make next?  How about a scarf?  Please, PLEASE click HERE for the scarf tab and read all the information about what size, what colors, what fibers to use as well as what to avoid.

Thank You's and Reminders

Pick some flowers to enjoy folks.  My daisy's are pretty done for the season and in fact most have been trimmed back.  I've also dug some up that badly needed thinning in an effort for the yard to look less like a jungle; but thought I'd post some Shasta Daisies to say thank you for knitting, for crocheting, for donating, for reading and for commenting on the blog.  I appreciate you all so very much.  

RoseMarie recently sent a donation and the picture of that should be posted here, but I had a picture fail.  I can say from memory she had crocheted and donated a couple of shawls that I think the young girls will enjoy..believe there was a pink and blue one...always colors young girls like.  I'm not sure what else was included, but think there were personal care items as well.  RoseMarie has been a long time and faithful supporter with her crochet hook.  When I processed my pictures there was one totally white blank...which by process of elimination, I determined to be RoseMarie's thoughtful donation.  If you've visited here before, you can probably almost picture it...she has what we've come to know as signature donations, with bright colors, edges, and decorations.

Thank you RoseMarie, keep up the good work.

Folks I've been posting reminders, as we're moving into the next season; many people will be gearing up knitting and crocheting more then they typically do in the warm summer months.  I always have items put aside that don't quite meet the needs of those we serve, items that need a bit of tweeking before they can be donated.  Sometimes it's because they need to be laundered, need tails woven in, repairs made...unraveled, exposed knots etc.  So, please read the tabs about what colors to avoid, what stitches to avoid, what fibers to avoid etc.  Many people are in need, but if our items don't meet their needs, we're not accomplishing our mission.

Please remember folks, open lacy stitches aren't warm, and tend not to hold up well in the cold wet weather here in Ohio.  Stitches should be close together, please avoid using stitches your fingers can easily poke through and or you can see through.  Broom stick lace, mile a minute type patterns etc don't meet the needs of those we serve.

*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 un-raveling.**

Crocheted Donations Help Ohioans in Need

Thank you RoseMarie for your thoughtful donation of personal care items, cotton washcloths, and crocheted hats and a scarf.  Thank you for your on going support of Bridge and Beyond.    We truly appreciate you.

Folks as I'm typing this scheduled post, I'm sitting with a lapghan on and a fleece.  It's cold!  It was 16 when I got out of bed this morning with a wind chill making it feel like 8.  As you knit and crochet, please double check the tightness of your stitches.  With temps and winds like that we need items not to be too open.  If you can see through, and or put your fingers through your stitches, please consider bumping down to a smaller size hook/needle in order to get a more solid item.

We'll be going a slightly different direction with our working calendar in the coming year, so please keep checking in.

Do you check the item specific tabs across the top of the blog before you make items?  If not, folks please do.  It's important we make was is needed.

Crocheted Donatons and Personal Care Items, Thank You

The coloring is off again today on this photo, but...I now know why.  This is my new camera and right after shooting this photo the message came on the battery was exhausted.  I get exhausted sometimes too, lol.  Anyway, it apparently was fading when the photo from yesterday was taken and I didn't realize the situation.  It's now being charged.  It's the first time since I got the new camera I've had to charge it so I didn't realize.  Love the camera.

Click to see the detail in the scarf our good friend, RoseMarie crocheted.  I love the texture!  Very pretty.  Someone's really going to love this hat and scarf set.  RoseMarie has also donated personal care items, and 3 crocheted cotton washcloths.
