Thank you Sandie P for long standing support of Bridge and Beyond and Ohio's Homeless. These 4 gray crocheted scarves are soooo soft. What yarn did you use? These neutral colored scarves will work for both men and women; both because of their color and their nice large size. Love nice big scarves because you really can wrap up to keep warm.
As always Sandie, thank you and please keep up the good work.
Folks...have you been watching our goals?? We're moving along nicely. Most notably is we've past the 50% mark on afghans!! YIPPEE, that's particularly nice because we were considerably lower last year in that area. Very cool to see this number growing.
AND another number I'm finding fun to watch is 1925. With this post, that's our number. That's how many blog posts we've had here on Bridge and Beyond...only 75 away from our 2,000th blog post! I think that's pretty exciting. We've been at this awhile gang.
**The counts on our progress bars are current.
All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this!! These colors are just sooo pleasing. I think they're sorta earthy and comforting. The corner to corner design adds such dimension to the afghan. This afghan was crocheted and donated by our long time friend, Sandra R from Florida. She's sends her beautiful work to aid Ohio's Homeless once again. Someone is going to feel very loved indeed Sandra when they wrap up in this! I think from looking at it, it's a shell pattern stitch?
But, there's more! 5 wonderful scarves, some crocheted and one knitted. The knitted one is the same colors as the above awesome afghan. Sandra's has used a variety of styles and stiches in her scarves, please click to enlarge to see the details folks.
As always, please keep up the awesome work there in Florida Sandra, our Homeless here in Ohio surely appreciate you.

WOW! 16 awesome knitted cotton washcloths. These knitted cloths are made with the very popular corner to corner, Grandma's favorite type pattern. You just can't go wrong with this tried and true long standing favorite pattern. LOVE the colors. Cotton Cloths are used is several ways. They're awesome for folks living in the elements because they're so much nicer on your skin than a regular washcloth. They're used in welcome home packs when family's transition from shelter living to a home situation and can be used as wash cloths or dish cloths. These are always so well received.
Scarves and toothbrushes! The toothbrushes are used again in family welcome packs, as well as by those living in the elements. Scarves....used all year long by those in the elements and even in shelters which sometimes aren't all that warm. LOVE the blue green......just happens to be one of my favorite color combinations.
Hats and personal care items (soap). The hats are a variety of sizes which is always helpful, as heads are a variety of sizes! And soap, used like the cotton cloths and toothbrushes.........in all situations.
This wonderful donation is a team effort from our friends Nikki S and Christina D. Great work ladies. So cool to team up for a good cause.
Speaking of a good cause, our friend Nikki S just recently completed a 50 mile Pelotonia, raising funds for Cancer, the hideous disease that affects so many people. This isn't her first time doing the Pelotonia...remarkable and kudos to you Nikki. Love your spirit of charity.
**These donations were awhile ago, right before I left town for vacation, and were suppose to post...there have been some issues with blogger; which...fingers crossed seem to be improving. So...this post is delayed, but it did give me the chance to tell you about Nikki and bike ride!

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.
