Welcoming More Helping Hands for Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Lizzy S for this sweet and thoughtful donation.  Knitted hats in a variety of sizes and colors, a cute springy scarf (flowers), and 2 gorgeous peacock blue scarves.  I love that color.  When I was a kid and had a fountain pen!!!! I know giving away my age again, lol.  Used to love to buy peacock blue ink, thought I was soooooo cool to have it, instead of regular blue or black.  Oh my, true story.

Lizzy is our newest pair of helping hands.  Always thrilled to have more helping hands.  Welcome to the group Lizzy, hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond and please keep up the good work!

Hats a necessary Item for Homeless

Thank you Janis F for this wonderful donation of crocheted hats.  All so nicely made, and all with size tags!  LOVE it.  I think I'd have to pick the blue as my favorite, click to enlarge folks to see the texture detail...really nice.  Janis 5 heads will be warmer because of you and your talents.

Many thanks, and please keep up the work of caring for others.  It is so needed and truly appreciated.

Knitted Scarves for Those in Need in Ohio

Thank you Edith D for these lovely knitted scarves.  Folks, please click the picture to make it larger (remember this is always something you can do).  If you click to enlarge, you'll be able to see the nice cable down the middle of the gray scarf on the left.  Such nice work!  Edith, these scarves are so nice and soft, whomever receives them will be very happy.

Thank you for helping Ohio's Homeless, together we all do make an important difference.

Keep up the good work Edith, look forward to seeing you here often on Bridge and Beyond.

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?
