Gorgeous Hand Knits for the Homeless

Woot Woot, look at this marvelous donation of scarves, mittens and hats and also a cotton washcloth.  What a wonderful and very generous donation.  I swear I don't think our good friend Sandra R from Florida ever sleeps.  She knits and crochets constantly!  What a wonderful mix of goodies.

Please click so you can see the details.  She's included hats of many different styles, and colors.  Lots of additional warm heads will be thrilled.  AND you know how excited I get when we get mittens!!  Take a look she's has them all nicely tagged with size and kept together as a pair by using the size tag to tie them together.

Sandra you are truly appreciated for your kind heart and your very gifted hands by everyone involved with Bridge and Beyond.  And, as I noted a few posts back...see the sunshine, lol.  She always packs some sunshine in from Florida with her donations.  We get so few days with sunshine here, it's greatly appreciated.  The pictures were taken on the same day folks, it's just that she had so much I made it two posts to not over whelm one post with pictures.  Improves the loading time of the page.

Thank you, Sandra.  As always, please keep up the good work!

**The counts on our progress bars are current, the percentages not quite. I'll not be figure the percentages with each update of numbers, but will be updating again next at least by the 20th. I have in fact made a reminder not on my cell phone for the 20th of each month to do percentages. If we're at a milestone, or I just have extra time I may do it more often...but certainly at that scheduled time.

Donating Orange Julius Afghan to Homeless Families Foundation

 Here is Orange Julius completed.  Below you see the  before and here you see the after.    It looks a bit funky below as the picture was originally Vertical, but I turned it to be more the way the finished picture is.  Believe I moved one or two squares around as I was working on also, in order to even out color a bit more.  It's been laundered and is being blocked and drying above.  I took these squares with me to Hilton Head recently and completed it there.  Actually, it's one of 3 afghans I worked on while on vacation.

Afghans with mixed squares are a bit tedious to work on, but I generally like the end result.  There are different sizes here, as you can tell.  Additionally some of the squares are knitted and some are crocheted.  Lots of different hands involved in this afghan.

This afghan, like all ours got donated to Homeless Families Foundation and hopefully will give someone physical warm, as well as emotional warmth.

I've had a few question recently about sending squares or stripes, but am still not in need of to assemble.  At some point I might be, but still quite a bit on hand.  So, please let me encourage you all make completed afghans....nudge nudge.

Hat and Scarf Sets for the Homeless

Thank you Karen S for this awesome donation of scarf and hat sets made with your special method of double ended crochet.  Love the texture it gives the scarves and how cool that it looks two toned.  If you've not checked out this method, please click on the link above where I've posted a video tutorial of it.  It's pretty cool.  I keep saying I'd like to try it, haven't yet though.  Have any of you?  The brown will of course per wonderful for the men and purplish for a woman.  Very nice!  

Plus Karen has included 3 cotton washcloths, suitable for men or women!  These are always so well received.  

Thank you Karen for your on going support of Bridge and Beyond, and your support of Ohio's Homeless in Need.  Please know how much you are appreciated.

As always, keep up the good work.
