Slipper Socks Warm Homeless Feet

 Wonderfully warm slipper socks in lots of colors.  I think these knitted slipper socks are knitted with double yarn?  Or perhaps chunky yarn as they truly are nice and warm.  There was no note with a name or email address in this box so I don't know whom all are involved.  I know from the return address one name, Jane Burmeister; but I know this donation (and several to follow in other posts) comes from a group that gets together at work to knit and crochet, The Sullivan Group.  I've not been able to locate an email address, find a blog, and or facebook page so if anyone out there is reading this and is a part of this group, please make contact using the contact form in the right sidebar.

Here's a variety of cotton washcloths in many different styles, colors, and sizes.  Believe these are all crocheted.

Jane and this group are our newest pairs of helping hands.  Welcome to the group, we appreciate the help.

**Remember to avoid open stitches where you can put your finger through (v stitches, mile a minute, and granny style type stitches aren't as warm as solid stitches.
***Remember to avoid light colors, pastels, whites, and lots of bold colors as the darker colors serve a wider range of the population we strive to serve
****Please remember to tag hats, slippers, and mittens with size.

Hats are Essential for Homeless

Thank you Erika H for your thoughtful donation of knitted hats.  Folks I've edited this picture trying to get the colors to show, but it didn't work very well.  Black and Dark Navy are the colors.  These hats are nice and large and heavy and no doubt will be used for those folks living out in the elements where they often have to wear two hats to ward off the elements.  Nicely done Erika.  Please keep up the good work.  Folks if you click to enlarge the picture you can see the nice detail, particularly in the lower right hat of the brim area.

Look forward to seeing you here often on Bridge and Beyond, Erika.
