Knitted Hats From Florida Help Cold Ohio Homeless

Thank you Cheryl G for this donation of knitted hats.  A little background here folks is Cheryl G is a classmate of mine.  A hundred years ago we graduated from high school together.......well maybe not a hundred years ago.......half that.  We recently celebrated our 50th reunion.  Cheryl returned to Ohio from Sunny Florida where she has no need of these nice warm hats for the reunion and hand delivered these hats to me at the reunion!  I thought that was cool, and wanted to share with you all.

These hats are super stretchy...you may not be able to tell that from the picture; but with the ribbing these hats will fit a large variety of head sizes which is awesome.  I love variegated especially because they're good for the men folk (well not the ones with pink, but you know what I mean).  

Cheryl I know I've asked you before for your pattern and thought I had added it to the hat tab, but didn't see it.  Could you send it to me again, love to post it.  I'm assuming you can adjust the size by the number you cast on?  If you wanted the hat to be longer?  It seems like this would be a good pattern and give people the ability to go up or down in size if they wanted to?

Wonderful to see you again at the reunion, I just wish there had been more time to talk.  Cheryl and I graduated with a large class...the number somewhat debatable, but around 480 we think.  No we didn't get that many people at the reunion, but we had over 100, so trying to talk to everyone wasn't an easy task.

Thank you for your on going support of Bridge and Beyond and Ohio's Homeless.  So nice of you to keep thinking of us while you're down there in Florida enjoying the sunshine.

Donations from Tennessee, The Volunteer State

Thank you Anna W!  Anna hails from Tennessee, The Volunteer State.  As you can see Anna has been very busy volunteering.  She's crocheted loomed hats in 2 different styles.  The hats vary in size (many thanks for labeling with size).  AND look at all the nice dark colors.....

She's also been busy looming those great wrist warmers/fingerless mitts.  This is a really nice pattern, as they're nice and long and truly come up the arm for added warmth.

I'm adding the link to the blog post showing how to make them.  Click HERE

The wrist warmers/fingerless mitts are also in the nice dark colors and match many of the hats she's made.

Many thanks Anna for your volunteering.....keep up the good work and know you're truly appreciated.

Donations from Louisiana Help Ohio's Homeless

Our good friend and long time supporter, Sandie P from Louisiana has donated 2 lovely crocheted scarves.  Please click so you can see the texture in her stitches.  

And notice the the blue one, how it changes hues.........so pretty, and yet still suitable for a male or female.  A most versatile donation that will help warm anyone and put a smile on their face at the same time.

Many thanks Sandie for all you've done through the years for Bridge and Beyond.  Keep em coming my friend.
