Crocheted Cotton Wash Cloths for Homeless

Looks, we got more cotton washcloths!  These are crocheted by our friend, Anne G.  Look at the fun variety of sizes, styles, and colors.  AND check out the two cute little fish!!

As I mentioned in the preceding post, cotton washcloth make such a nice donation because they have multiple uses.  No, they don't keep anyone warm; but they do help with ones personal hygiene.   Cotton washcloths are much softer and nicer to the body then traditional washcloths, plus they make people feel special ...that's always nice.  Not only are they used in bathing, but also as dish cloths for those in home situations and are included in welcome home packs.

Many thanks and keep up the good work Anne.

**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.

Crocheted Blue Scarf Warms Homeless

Thank you Sandie P from Louisiana for this awesome blue scarf.  Folks please be sure to click on the picture to enlarge it so you can see the texture.  Very nice indeed and who doesn't like blue!  Blue works for adults men or women, blue works for teens......again male or female.  Lovely scarf.

Many thanks Sandie for your many years of supporting Bridge and Beyond and Ohio's homeless through your crocheting.  You do make a difference and we're grateful for your dedication.

Not quite ready to close the books and give you final totals for donations during the year of 2018....please keep checking in folks.  And when you come and visit and read, please do leave a comment.  If you don't, I don't have anyway of knowing you were hear.

Crocheted Afghan, Getting Close to Donation Goal for 2018.

Thank you Karen N for this lovely afghan.  I love the colors!  This ghan is nice and soft and warm on top of being such cool colors.  We all love to bundle up in a homemade afghan during the cold ugly winter and the folks who receive this through Homeless Families Foundation will feel the same.  Additionally, I hope they feel the love that exists when our busy hands knit or crochet an afghan for them.

Many thanks Karen for your hard work, please know how much it matters.

Hey folks...have you looked at our goals?  Have you noticed the afghan goal?  Quick, take a look.  Drum roll, look how close we are to our goal...this afghan makes us hit 94%, well slightly over 94%.  Though it is now January 2, as I type this blog post....I've not yet closed the stats for the year because we have donations that came in before the end of the year that you've not yet seen...........so, I'll close the books a bit down the line when all donations are accounted for here on Bridge and Beyond.  That's pretty typical.  AND if a donation or two come in while that's happening, well then I'll count them as well in this years totals.

Please stay tuned folks.

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?
