The Unknown Soldier Could be Homeless

This comic is definitely food for thought.   This is so sadly true.  A very large percentage of homeless across our country are in fact Veterans that we owe a great deal to.  We owe more than a life on the street wondering if they'll survive a cold night or extreme summer temperatures and dehydration.  And while some headway is being made thanks to our First Lady Michele Obama's Major's programs, 
to house the homeless Veterans, much work is still needed.

Clearly show that.

Please keep your yarn at hand and hooks and needles busy.

Sorry Lola

Last night was the end of the month long yarn bombing Lola style contest and the winner was to be announced today.  There is no winner to announce, as there were no participants I'm sad to report.  I had hoped we'd have some fun pictures to look at, but apparently it just wasn't what people were interested in doing.

Sorry Lola.

Pop in tomorrow and check out what's happening, and remember even when you can't knit or crochet due to time constraints or lack of knowing how, you can still help Bridge and Beyond by visiting and leaving comments.  Please let us know you were here.

Thank you.

Don't Try This at Home

Every now and then you see examples of things people posts as the ugliest thing to do with yarn, or what not to do with yarn..........the title under this was pajamas.  Not making a statement about the guys here, this was on a crochet site.  I can't even imagine dressing a little wee one in p.j.'s like this, lol

Don't try this at home, PLEASE use your yarn wisely!  Though they are colorful....seriously this is the worst thing I've think I've ever seen as an example of what not to do with yarn, your time...

What say you?
