Christmas Comes-- Day after Day after Day!!!!!!!!

MITTENS and hats, and Scarfs oh my!

Christmas comes any and everyday of the week when so many caring people give of themselves for the benefit of others.

Mittens, #4, many thanks for the fun red and green mitts from Ghost, Stella wanted a really close look at them.


Crochet Princess (Beth), previously an Ohioan, A Buckeye. The one who's pattern is linked in a previous post...who's pattern is on her blog (designed specially for this group), sent 16 matching hats and mittens. There are 8 in each picture. Buckeye Colors among them, maroon, blue, many shades of green, camo etc.


Hats #118-119-120-121-122-123-124-125-126-127-128-129-130-131-132 And #133!
Mittens #5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19 and 20


And a matching hat, mittens, and scarf and you know who's modeling them (and not wanting to give them up ..........Stella!) Hat #134, Mitten #21, Scarf #52. Stella, Stella, Stella. This set of mittens is a variation of Bev's pattern and Cathy's pattern but using sc rather than blsc.

A close up of these mitts, as I know it's a pattern many have used; this is Beth's verions with sc.


Worked late again tonight, so by the time I got home (after 8 pm), had dinner, opened mail...a bit late to call my SIL, but can hardly wait to connect so we get these things passed along to Rae. The mittens are really going to add soooooo much to keeping them warm.

My thanks for all the continuous support in knitting and crocheting, for adding the blog button to help spread the word, for the prayers to keep these people as warm as possible and as safe as possible given their circumstance. You have no idea how much good you have and are continuing to do.

I trully am in awe of you all. Blessing to one and all.

MORE! Hats and Scarfs = More Warmth!!!

You people Rock! Totally and completely rock! More wonderful warm items received today via my favorite postal worker. He's asked about all the boxes and pouches I get and hubby told him about the project. So.......he takes extra special care of all the packages all you wonderful folks send my way for our folks under the bridge.

Another beautifully crocheted hat from Sandie. This is made with a new type of yarn. Or at least new to me. Soy Wool Solids from Patons. It has a really nice feel to it, almost silk like. No one would ever guess it's wool. As always Sandie, many many thanks, someone is going to be very happy to receive this hat. Hat #115


From Eboni (mzundercover on Rav), 2 sets of matching hats and scarfs; both knitted. A blue set and a really nice dark green set. I've looked for some yarn that nice dark green, unsuccessfully I might add. It's yummy. Thank you bunches, they are both beautiful and I know whomever receives them will be thrilled. Hats #116 & 117, and Scarf #50 & 51


I'll be making another delivery, very soon with all your wonderful items.
Many many thanks.

Mittens?

I'm here! It's cold...more mittens?

Smiles and Appreciation from under the Bridge.

Wanted to tell you all a bit about last Saturdays delivery to our folks under the bridge. It was cold, we were having freezing rain when Rae took the donations. There were lots of happy people with smiles on their faces as they put on hats, and scarfs to ward off the elements. Buckeye Fans among them, the men were excited about getting the Scarlet and Grey items!

Rae's been trying to obtain some tarps, and ropes from hardware stores (hoping for some donations where possible), so they could make a shelter of sorts from the rain, and wind etc. A few are lucky enough to have a tent. I'll be checking back with her to see if she was able to obtain any tents, or tarps and let you know.

Some of our earlier items were packed in donated/used packbacks along with some personal care items like toothbrushes, soap, towels and the like and given to them just prior to Christmas. You all helped in making them know people do care.

Hugs to all, and now...I hear yarn calling my name.

Scarfs and Hats!!!!!

Look at the goodies!!!!!!!!!!!
Hats!!! Stella is modeling one of the 9 hats Scarlet made. She choose the pretty pinkish red one...Stella's such a ham! Hats #106-107-108-109-110-111-112-113-114. Many thanks Scarlet for your continued support and lovely items to warm the cold homeless living under the bridge.


Gloria sent scarfs #45 & 46. I really like the blue mutli-colored one. I'm not familiar with the stitch you used Gloria...very interesting, what is it? That yarn was really soft too, what did you use? Thank you sooooooooo much. The support so many of you are showing truly touches my heart.


Scarlet sent 3 scarfs #47-48-49. I'll add these (if Stella will give them up!) to the ladies donation for the clinic. I'm particularly fond of the purple and orange one. I love the colors. Wanted to show the red, white, and blue neck warmer. Fits me... and felt pretty good around my neck right after getting in from the cold, that too will go to the ladies next donation. Can you see the interesting buttons?


The temperature when I woke up this am was -12. The warmest it got all day was 8 in the sun. I ask that you join in keeping these folks in your thoughts and prayers to make it through these conditions.

Hats, Scarfs, and Mittens!

Mittens, #3. I finally got a pair finished thanks to using a new pattern our very our Crochet Princess, Beth wrote and sent to me. I frogged the knitted ones now for the 2nd time! Still working on the other croheted ones, but much prefer Beth's pattern. She's written an improvement in it since I made this pair, so I'll be making more. Thanks bunches Beth. PLEASE hope over to her page she's graciously posted the pattern, AND is naming it after our project!


Scarfs from Sandie. I particularly like the one Stella's modeling for you. Great colors! Scarfs #42-43-44


Great hats, from Sandie (hats #101-102-103-104 & 105). Thats Stella trying on one while she's looking out at the snow early this morning, before work. we've gotten quite a bit since then. I managed to take the photo's this am, but ran out of time to get them posted prior to work. As always Sandie, many many thanks, such nice work!
