Crocheting and Donating Helps Others

Thank you Diana K for your continued support of Bridge and Beyond with your thoughtful donations.  The picture doesn't let you see the hats very well folks, but there are 6 of them.  Additionally Diana has crocheted lots of cotton washcloths.  The cloths are used by folks in the shelters and those on the streets as both washcloths and dishcloths.  Always an item well received.

She also  donated slippers and scarves and other hats; but sadly the 2nd picture is missing.  Thankfully I had written down the number of items she crocheted and donated.

Knitted Hats from Puerto Rico

Look at these awesome hats!  These are knit double which makes for a super nice warm hat and coordinating brim. Thank you DaMaris from Puerto Rico.  They could also be reversible.  DaMaris knits them half and half...colorwise, like a tube then gathers the ends.  She used a Turbo round knitter for these.  I've not seen the machine in person, but would love to have one.  Thanks also DaMaris for taking the time to tag...sizing is so very helpful.

She's also included a pair slippers in her thoughtful donation.

Please keep up the good work.

Hats and Scarves Help the Homeless

Thank you Patty C!  Patty and her crochet hook have been very very busy, as you can see crocheting hats and scarves to help Ohio's homeless.  I LOVE that the hats and scarves are nice dark, and pretty much solid colors.  These colors are so versatile for both men and women.  I mention from time to time, the darker colors serve many purposes.  The most obvious reason the darker colors are so good is they don't tend to show the dirt.  However, even more importantly the dark  colors vs light and bright colors keep them from standing out..........folks that's very important to homeless.  They want to blend in, not catch the attention of others who might make things difficult for them.

Many thanks Patty, please keep up the good work.
