Wine or Yarn?

I like wine and I like yarn so had to laugh when I saw this posted awhile back and thought I'd share it with you. Now it looks like you could store quite a bit of yarn instead of wine........provided you had the right size skeins/cakes.  I'm curious what size that actually is.  Thoughts?  I suppose this could even be double duty.........you could have both wine and yarn together in one place?  This looks to be in an actual yarn shop given the hanks hanging beside it, though I suppose this could be someone's craft room, living room, end of the bedroom or whatever.

I always get a kick out of seeing how people store or display their lovely yarns, hope you do as well.

Afghans a Plenty being Donated

 Thank you, thank you Cheryl S.  I like funky and different, so this afghan makes me smile.  If you remember folks, I said stay tuned....there's more when I posted the first part of Cheryl's donation HERE

 I love all the different varigated's put together like this and would never have thought to do so.  You are soooooooooo creative!  The diagonal shells is so pretty.  I love the color combination.  I love how bold this is.  It also has a look of Buckeye Country which will be a big hit.

And who doesn't like jewel tones together!  WOW, Cheryl, I hope you're catching up on your eating and sleeping after crocheting these wonderful afghans!!!

Awesome job, truly.  Please keep up the good work.

Donations from Otterbein's Stitches to Share

This wonderful donation comes from many hands.  A group called Stitches to Share at Otterbein College in Westerville knitted, crocheted and collected this donation.  Students, and faculty gather in library on campus to knit and crochet for charity.  They spread their donations out among lots of different charities.  They teach folks to knit and crochet as well, so even if you think you can't help...they bridge that gap by teaching their crafts to others.  In addition they often have donated yarn they share with those wanting to join in.

I meant Penny S at an agreed upon location to collect this donation from her.  I appreciated her suggestion to meet up, it saved me from driving there.  Plus, it's always nice to meet like minded people.

Many thanks Penny and Stitches to Share for this thoughtful donation.  Please keep up the good work!

The Final Stages of Blue Horizon

Am about half way through the final section of Blue Horizon, think when I counted I have about 20 more rows to knit then do the long binding off.  Binding off afghans always seems to take forever, so many stitches on the needles.  Then will get this afghan laundered and blocked...and continue on with the other 2 I've been working on.

Crocheted Afghans for Homeless Families Foundation

Love these colors together.  This afghan made by our good friend Cheryl S is suitable for anyone and everyone.  It's large enough  for a family, it suitable colorwise for Man or Women, or Teen.  Lots of colors, looks fall-ish to me.  Remember folks you can always click on pictures to enlarge them here on the blog to see things better or in more detail.  I always encourage you to do that.

Another wonderful afghan crocheted by Cheryl which will be donated to Homeless Families Foundation.  Shells stitches on the diagonal here, very interesting.

Cheryl's been very busy, so please continue to checkin..............there's more, you don't want to miss seeing the rest.

As always Cheryl, we so appreciate your support and your generous skillful crochet hook!

Crocheted Hat from The United Kingdom

Thank you Julie T. from across the big pond (United Kingdom) for this thoughtful donation.  This hat is nice and stretching and will work for a variety of head sizes which is awesome.  I love that it's a nice color suitable for either a Man or Woman.  Thank you also Julie for tagging the hat with the size, that is so helpful to me as I separate donations for where they will end up and likewise for the various volunteers at the shelters.

How truly sweet of you to offer your help for Ohio's Homeless all the way from England!

Hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond.
