Trying to get current with pictures....

A picture I missed yesterday, ruffle scarf by Scarlet. This is that nice soft homespun yarn.

A grey shawl, perhaps the coming home pattern. I'll save that for another delivery, as it might be more suited to a wee warmer weather, or perhaps one of the needy ladies at the clinic. Another one of Scarlet's creations.
these are cute little neck collars, will hold these should we get children and or someone at need there at the clinic. Think I might need to get this pattern from Scarlet, can't you see this as a way to jazz up a boring blouse? That is if I ever get around to making anything for myself. lol
2 scarfs from Molly, holding in the in case we get kids group. The multi color scarf is a keyhole design. I've never made one of those. Looks like it would surely stay in place, a definate need for a child.
Hand/wrists warmers another Molly creation.

Can you believe how talented and giving our team is!!!

Hoping to get a few other pics posted later today, soooooooo please do check back.

I might need a Calculator!!!!

First picture is hats and scarfs from Molly. I was having some light issue when I photographed. There are 9 hats that are dark gray and burgundy in the back, 2 red-white-and blue hats, a solid red, and the white and red. A scarf matches the white and red and one of the red-white-blue hats. 13 hats (34-35-36-37-38-39-40-41-42-43-44-45-45) AND Scarfs 25 & 26


James sent a scarf, 2 hats with 2 neck gaitors. I'm including a close up of one of the hats and gaitors so you can see. So scarf #27 AND hats #46 & 47




This is the 2nd beautiful bright blue scarf Sandie sent (previous post shows other scarf). This is nice and soft, good and solid I know it will keep someone warm. Thanks for your continued support. This is scarf #28

2 Hats crocheted, 6 scarfs crocheted by Scarlet. I've grouped them male and female. First picture Green, Pink, and Purlish (which is like a mobius scarf) for female and 2nd group of 3 for the men (orange, green, and multi). Thanks bunches Scarlet. Pop in and see how lovely all her work is. Scarf #29-30-31-32-33-34 AND hats 48 & 49




I received some misc items, 2 neck collars from Scarlet, a shawl, 2 child scarfs from Molly. Thankfully at this time children are not there under the bridge living out in the elements. These items will be in reserve and or after I get with Rae next will determine if they might work for those at the clinic who are in need; but sometimes have a roof over their heads.

I've received a few notes with questions and while most of this is a repeat (some folks have joined us recently and didn't see the first couple of posts), so I'll add some info here. Our goal is to make warm items, sized appropiate for adult men as most of our homeless people living under the bridge are men such as Hats and Scarfs. We're striving for 100 each but will continue this effort once we hit the 100 mark. We need gloves and mittens as well; perhaps vests or warm sweaters. Fibers? Acrylics worsted weight and wool are both great. Solid stitches probably best for warmth, most folks consider the normal size scarf to be 5-8 inches wide and somewhere around 60 inches long. If you have other questions, please email me at sandycrochet@gmail.com. If you have someone you'd like to invite as a team member email me their email.

Thanks!!!

Happy New Years

Scarf #21 AND 22 AND 23 AND 24 !!!

Wow...sure have had a time getting this posted. This is the 3rd try!!! The 2 tone knitted scarf is one I made which is really warm and thick. The 2 pictured together (blue and green), are crocheted from Sandie, and the darkest green is also crocheted from Sandie using diag. box stitch. I really like the look!

Thanks bunches Sandie. I need to try my hand at one of those scarfs.

Now that blogger is working better I'll add a bit to my note. Not sure what was going on last night when I tried and tried to post. I kept losing my blog post and the pictures. Anyway...the scarfs Sandie made are wonderful. The yarn is yummy.

Sorry you can't see the design in the multi-colored blue scarf I knitted, it has some neat texture which doesn't show up in the picture. Bummer.

Look how our team members have grown! Cool hun. And don't forget we have people who knit and or crochet who aren't team members helping us out with the cause here. Some are followers/readers some friends there off. AND...we have over 30 members who've joined in The Ravelry Group. Some of us are in both places which is also cool. Join us however you can, whatever method works for you is fine.

Be safe, be warm and Happy New Years to you all!

Doing a happy mailman dance!

Pictures need to be posted later (need to retrieve my camera from a family member...hoping that will be later today). I finished a scarf Christmas Day which is #21, and last evening did a happy dance when my mailman left 2 packages at my door from the other Sandie. 3 more scarfs...counting #22-23-and 24! Sandie as always, nice work; but I'm particularly interested in the dark loomy green one. What stitch did you use? I really like the texture and how well it shows up on that dark green. Thanks bunches Sandie.

I made a delivery to Jan yesterday earlier in the day, and she'll be passing those items onto Rae tonight, so with the above 4 scarfs am collecting up what will be our 4th delivery!!!!

Thanks Ghost for posting the link and explaning the M1 to me. Believe thats the first time I've seen that in a pattern. I'll be checking out the how to. Appreciate the help. Links for both knitting and crocheting mitten patterns in 2 previous posts if anyone wants to snag them.

Thank you all for your wonderful support for this cause. Keep up the good work.

Happy Holiday Updates!

Anyone have the ability to make mittens or gloves

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with family, friends, and loved ones. If you traveled I hope your travels kept you safe and warm and without complications. Now...vacations over gang, so lets get back to work. lol I plan to drop off another (our 3rd) delivery to Jan today so stay tuned. We'll let you know when they make it to our group under the bridge. I'm hoping they're keeping dry, as the last couple of days here have been very wet.

Putting out a call for mittens and gloves...I'm anxious to try the pattern Bunny suggested, and also looking forward to the ones she has in the works. Here's the links Bunny posted for us in the previous blog note. Crocheted mittens and here's knitted mittens


My thanks to all who've joined "officially" or otherwise, those that have added our link to their blogs, blogged about our cause as well as those that have hooks and needles flying to help with their loving stitches.

You are ALL AWESOME!


***pssssssssss the knitted pattern is exciting to me because you don't need DP's to do it. Though I did just buy a set to see if I can work on DP's, I'm not ready to make that leap. However, I note a stitch called M1..backward e loop? Hum, no clue what that is, guess I need to look for a tutorial.
