Thank you, thank you Sandra R for this awesome donation. Apologies folks, this picture and that of another donation (which will be the post after this), were in no mans land...somehow I didn't have them on my phone any longer and couldn't find them on the computer after transferring them there. YIPPEE I found them.
This awesome donation of knitted mittens, hats, and scarves come from our good friend Sandra R from the sunny state of Florida. Poor Florida right now is having a bad time of it with the Covid, please stay safe Sandra. Ohio is getting worse each day also, but Florida increases seem worse.
Sandra has been one of our long time supporters here on Bridge and Beyond and her mad knitting skills........particularly with mittens always has been clapping and or dancing in the street.
I also love how she includes such variety in styles, sizes, and colors with her hats, and always tags them with size, which really aids the volunteers and workers at the shelters. Right now even more so, as I actually need to make an appointment to do deliveries, with their limited hours to help protect their employees and those they/we serve.
As always Sandra, many thanks and know you truly make a difference.

Louisiana Aids Ohio's Homeless
Thank you Sandie P from Louisiana! Sandie has been very busy with her crochet hook, as you can see. She included cotton washcloths and scarves in her generous donation. Both are items always well received.
The cotton washcloths have so many uses from using on your body to the dishes. They are used when folks get a night in the shelter, as they are kinder to the skin than many store bought cloths. They are used in welcome home packs when folks transition from shelter living to a permanent housing situation. They are used by the folks under bridge, as well as those in the shelters.
Scarves, you never can have too many. When you're out in the elements you might need one for you neck, your head, and or shoulders. LOVE the colors Sandie.
Many thanks for your long term support of Ohio's Homeless and Bridge and Beyond. Please keep up the good work.

Hats and Cotton Washcloths Aid the Homeless
Thank you Christine D for this awesome hand delivered donation.
As you can tell, Christine has been busy with here knitting needles. A dozen hats all different sizes, super stretchy so they really will fit a variety of head sizes. They're supper soft and so nicely made. They have already been delivered and could be keeping someone warm as we speak. I made a scheduled deliver, wearing my mask to Homeless Families Foundation. They were waring masks, and gloves and practicing social distancing as well. We've had some cool nights so they were very happy to get this donation (had quite a few bags).
And she's also included 5 of everyone's favorite corner to corner cotton washcloths.
Many thanks for thoughtfulness, and your special delivery. Please keep up the good work.

Thank you Sandra R for this wonderful donation. This afghan is very soft, both in color and texture. Whomever wraps up in this is going to be happy, most assuredly. I'm not sure I've seen this particularly granny square pattern before, but find it very interesting. Please click to enlarge so you can see the details and textures.

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.
