A Generous Donation of Knitted Warmth for the Homeless

WOW!  2 boxes!  Phyllis G, has been very busy and has knitted lots of goodies to donate.  In this first picture she has the always popular cotton washcloths.  As you know, they are used in a variety of ways.  Folks getting a shower at a shelter often get one...so much softer than a store bought cloth.  They're put into welcome home bags for folks when they transition from shelter to a more permanent housing situation and can be used as a dish cloth or personal wash cloth, and our friends living out in the elements get good use from them as well.

She's also included scarves with matching hats, mittens and slippers!  And you all know how excited I get when we get mittens!!  Way to go Phyllis.  

I do hope you've scrolled down, cause there's more!!  More mittens, scarves, hats, and slippers.  This group is a larger size than the first picture.  Awesome to have a variety of sizes and colors.  Some perfect for the younger set, some for women, some for men and some that work for either a man or a woman.  But... scroll some more, please.

I told you, there were two boxes of donations.  I can only put so many in one photograph in order for you to see them.  And remember, you can always click pictures to enlarge them.

**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.

Hats and Scarves Warm Homeless in Need

Thank you Karen S for this donation of warm loomed hats and two tone crocheted scarves.  Added thanks Karen for your cute size tags on the hats.  Putting the size on hats, mittens and or slippers really helps the volunteers at the shelter.

Notice the light and dark tones of the scarves, the two tones?  This method of crocheting gives that affect of light and dark sides.  This method is known by several names: Cro-hooking, Crochetnit, Double Ended Crochet and Reversible Tunisian Crochet.  If you're new to this blog, you might not have seen this before so I'll post a link here with a video of how to do this stitch.

Many thanks Karen for your thoughtful donation and on going support of Bridge and Beyond.  Please know your donations have warmed many in need.
