Knitted Cowls Donated to Help Ohio's Homeless

 Here's one of the panels Mary H donated.  I folded the panel over and crocheted together, and joined it to make a mobius/infinity scarf/ cowl.  It's large enough to be doubled or draped and is both warm and attractive either way it's worn.

Truly love the color combination of this and so will the lucky lady who received it.

Many thanks Mary.

Blue Sea-Blue Ocean Afghan

 These 4 knitted panels from Mary Hoyt are very close in length and put together will become an afghan.  I love the mix of colors, the blocks and patches of various sizes.  Blues and Greens...almost a sandy green.  Made me think of the sand that churns up as the tide  goes in and out.  The Ocean and or Sea is sometimes green, sometimes blue, sometimes a mix.  Other times it's close to brown or brownish green or brownish blue.

A different view.  As I tossed the panels down I immediately put the solid greenish...sand panel next to the one where that color also appears.  But, after staring at these photo's awhile I think perhaps switching it up so it's not next to it...I think flip flopping the solid panel with the panel on the far right side might be a better option????

So far I'm thinking Blue Sea or Blue Ocean for the name.  Way in folks, what do you think?  I'm sure I have something in my stash to add a bit to panel closest to us in this picture to make it the same length as the other panels.  I really like the look and think this will be make an awesome afghan.  The yarn I think is a chunky yarn, it's quite soft with the stitches nice and close so it will be warm.

Let me know your thoughts folks.

Thank you Sandra R for Helping Ohio's Homeless

Can you guess who's fabulous donation this is?  Come on,  give it try.  She lives in a warmth climate, she knits, and she's one of our stellar mitten makers....If you guessed Sandra R. from Florida go to the head of the class!  Sandra always makes beautiful items, tags them with size and pairs them beautifully. This donation has lots of wonderful mittens in great darker colors, hats that like the mittens are a variety of sizes and scarves.  She's also included some personal care items.

Many thanks Sandra for your on going support of Ohio's Homeless here on Bridge and Beyond.  We truly appreciate all your efforts.  Please keep up the good work, you've put smiles on many faces.
