Knitted Hats for Ohio's Homeless

Scroll back 2 days and you'll see another part of Sandra R's donation.  Look at these awesome warm knitted hats!  Please remember you can always click to see the pictures better and pick up on details such as texture.  I encourage you to do with this photo because they truly is quite a variety of colors, sizes, and styles.  AND some really gorgeous texture.  Sandra you work is always beautiful.  Thank you for nicely tagging each hat with size; it's always so very much appreciated...not just by me (keeps me guessing what size someone made), but also speeds up getting them donated to the right area.

As always many thanks for your long term support of Ohio's Homeless through your hard work here for Bridge and Beyond.  I doth my hat to you!

I'm going to try something a little different with keeping our stats.  I'm listing our end numbers from 2015 and will subtract our current number as means of keeping our goal in front of us.  I'll show the goal number in Red.  Let's strive not just to match last years numbers, but.........work towards even more.  Thank you for all you do.  As time goes on, we won't see the year end numbers, we'll see the previous goal and subtract the new donation from it.  Hopefully we'll find this helpful and not too cumbersome...if so, we'll return to our previous format.

**psssss, please keep checking in folks, this isn't the end of Sandra's donation

Knitted Warmth for Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Yvonne S for this awesome donation.  Look at all the variety in color, size,and style of her beautifully knitted hats.  8 more warm heads!  She's included lots of personal care items that are always needed by everyone; those on the streets and those in the shelters.  A cute pair of warm cozy slippers to make someone's feet happy and 2 really nice warm pair of gloves.

What a thoughtful and generous donation Yvonne.  Many thanks and please keep up the good work.  You've made an important difference for folks in need.  The temps as I type this are bone chilling, so the homeless truly need our help.

I'm going to try something a little different with keeping our stats.  I'm listing our end numbers from 2015 and will subtract our current number as means of keeping our goal in front of us.  I'll show the goal number in Red.  Let's strive not match last years numbers, but.........work towards even more.  Thank you for all you do.  As time goes on, we won't see the year end numbers, we'll see the previous goal and subtract the new donation from it.  Hopefully we'll find this helpful and not too cumbersome...if so, we'll return to our previous format.

Afghan, a Sunny Donation from the state of Florida

Look at this awesome crocheted afghan from our good friend Sandy R in sunny Florida.  She always includes some sunshine in her donations...see it!  Yes, the day this donation was opened, there was some sunlight streaking in through the windows.  But, don't be fooled, it was anything but warm that day.  It was 3 degrees that morning when hubby and I got up, and by the time I was willing to leave the house to run errands, it had warmed up .................all the way to 8 degrees!!

Sandra has been such a long time and very generous supporter of Bridge and Beyond.  Her work is always fabulous and this is no exception.  Many thanks Sandra, this ghan will be perfect for anyone who receives it.....the colors work for men and women alike.

As always, please keep up the good work.

**Folks, be sure and pop back in, this isn't her whole donation!

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?
