Donations for Ohio Homeless Still Needed

I love this shade of blue, crocheted and donated by our long time friend, Sandie P in Louisiana.  I happen to know blue is also her favorite color.  Sandie and I met years ago on line in Crochetville and worked on afghans for survivors of Katrina.  When we finished that charity, we continued to stay connected with blogging and she jumped right in with donations when I first formed this group, Bridge and Beyond.  Thank you Sandie for your long time friendship and wonderful support.  It's very much appreciated.

Today is the last day of May and with tomorrow being the first day of June, our focus switches to slippers.  Please check the slipper tab for necessary information regarding colors, sizes, fibers, stitches and suggestions for both knitting and crocheting slippers.

Cotton Washcloths for Homeless

Another dozen pretty cotton washcloths crocheted and donated by our long time friend and supporter, Sandie P from Louisiana.  Very nice mix of colors, bright and cheery.  Keep up the good work my friend.
Some folks have wondered why the cotton washcloth fad has become so popular.  Many reasons...

1. They're fun and quick to make
2. They're pretty
3. They're versatile, as they can be used as a washcloth for the body (which are really really nice), and they can be used as a dishcloth.
4. The shelters love them as use them when people are in for a night and have no means of clean up, they use them in their moving in kits (when they transition from shelter living to permanent housing).
