Donating, Doing Good for the Homeless

Thank you Barbara F for this awesome donation.  Look at all the variety folks.  Barbara has been a long time and generous supporter of Ohio's Homeless here on Bridge and Beyond.  So happy she's been with us for so long.

Barbara has crocheted hats, and scarves, including a couple of matching sets.  She's also included a bright colored mobius/infinity scarf, cotton washclothes, and some personal care items.  Awesome, all items will be greatly appreciated by those who receive them.  

Thank you Barbara for taking the time to tag each of the hats with size.  That's a HUGE time saver and helps assure hats get properly separated to get to the people who need them.  

Keep up the good work, and as always know how much good YOU are doing!

Matching Hat and Scarf Sets for Ohio Homeless

Thank you Karen S for this thoughtful donation of hats and scarf sets.  If you've been to this blog before, chances are, you've seen Karen's signature style.  The scarves are made using the method called Cro-Hooking, Crochenit, Reversible Tunisian, Reflective Reversible, and Double Ended Crochet.  Apparently there are a raft of names for this method.  The scarves are crocheted, but with a crochet hook at each end of the needle.  I can see why it's called Reflective Reversible...look at the light and dark sides of the scarf.  The feel of scarf is added warmth, it's a bit thicker then crocheting would be, from my touch.

In this post, I have a u-tube video showing you how to perform this technique if you'd like to give it a try.  Until Karen started donating hat and scarves sets to Bridge and Beyond, it was not a technique I had seen or heard of.  Let us know if you give it a try.  I must admit, I still haven't, though it's on my list of things to try.  I really like the look.

Please keep up the good work Karen and know you are so very much appreciated.

Crocheted Hats Make Their Mark in Ohio all the Way From Minnesota

Thank you Judy C for this thoughtful donation of crocheted hats to warm heads in need.  Judy has crocheted 9 hats, with a variety of sizes, colors, and styles.  Something to warm lots of different sized heads!  She also tagged each hat with the size.  I list that as something everyone should do, but sometimes people don't.  Tagging with size helps ensure the donated item reaches the right people.  So thank you Judy C from Minnesota for taking the time to tag your hats with the size.  Much appreciated by me, and even more so from the various volunteers at the shelters.

Just is our newest pair of helping hands.  We're so happy to have you join us and look forward to seeing you often on Bridge and Beyond.  Please keep up the good work Judy, and know that you have made an important difference in the lives of 9 people.

Thank you!
