Thank you Susan A from Florida for this wonderful and very generous donation of knitted warm goodies. Susan has been very busy as you can see. She's knitted hats, scarves, mittens, and slippers. She's included several styles of slippers, some appropriate for men others more appropriate for women. NICE! Love the variety in sizes and colors you've chosen for all your goodies, many people will be kept warmer because of your donation. Thank you also for taking the time to attach tags with sizes for your hats, and slippers, much appreciated.
Susan's also included toothbrushes. Personal care items are always needed and a great way for someone who doesn't knit or crochet to help.
AND you know how excited I get when we get donations of mittens, truly an item we never get enough of. Folks just the other day I had a request for mittens for kids, so if you're about to cast on might I nudge you to knit/crochet some mittens for children?
Please keep up the good work Susan, hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond.
**Susan tells me she used Nola's Slipper Pattern for the sock like bootie style slippers. I always enjoy knowing, as I know many of you do as well what patterns people have used and liked.

This is Doug Seegers, an out-of-work carpenter who was born in New York. He’s a man in his sixties and up until recently he lived off the money he was given by people in the streets of Nashville. In 2012, Aaron Espe, a musician from Minnesota, posted a YouTube video of Doug singing a song he wrote many years ago called “Going Down To The River.” His vibe and his haunting voice made the video go popular, and everyone got the chance to hear his unique voice. This time, he got together with country stars Jill Johnson and Magnus Carlson to sign his original song. The YouTube description says, “This man deserves to get a roof over his head so help him become famous by spreading the word!” It makes me very happy to see someone like him is starting succeed in the most unexpected way!
