Busy Hands in Florida Aid Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Susan A from Florida for this wonderful and very generous donation of knitted warm goodies.  Susan has been very busy as you can see.  She's knitted hats, scarves, mittens, and slippers.  She's included several styles of slippers, some appropriate for men others more appropriate for women.  NICE!  Love the variety in sizes and colors you've chosen for all your goodies, many people will be kept warmer because of your donation.  Thank you also for taking the time to attach tags with sizes for your hats, and slippers, much appreciated.

Susan's also included toothbrushes.  Personal care items are always needed and a great way for someone who doesn't knit or crochet to help.

AND you know how excited I get when we get donations of mittens, truly an item we never get enough of.  Folks just the other day I had a request for mittens for kids, so if you're about to cast on might I nudge you to knit/crochet some mittens for children?

Please keep up the good work Susan, hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond.

**Susan tells me she used Nola's Slipper Pattern for the sock like bootie style slippers.  I always enjoy knowing, as I know many of you do as well what patterns people have used and liked.

Donating Loomed Hats to Help the Homeless

Thank you Susan A for this thoughtful donation of loomed hats and crocheted cotton washcloths, and soap!  These loomed hats have a nice thick brim and will be nice and warm.  LOVE the nice dark color choices.  The dark colors work so well for everyone, any gender and any age, PLUS they don't show the dirt which is an added plus.  Homeless prefer darker colors, as they don't like to call attention to themselves.  Susan is our newest pair of helping hands.  Thrilled to have you join us Susan, please keep up the good work.  Look forward to seeing you here often on Bridge and Beyond.
