New Helping Hands Crochet for Homeless

Thank you Donna P, our newest pair of helping hands for this thoughtful donation of crocheted warmth.  Donna has been busy with her crochet hook.  She crocheted 2 scarves sized nicely for two young teenage girls.  She's added 5 hats of various sizes to warm heads of more teens and ladies, and has crocheted always popular cotton wash cloths.  

Please click to enlarge folks to see her cute size tags she's attached.  Bright colored gift paper folded.  Very cleaver way to tag hats with size.  She's also included size on scarves, though that isn't necessary; it will be helpful.

Welcome to Bridge and Beyond, Donna.  We hope to see you here often.

Knitted Warmth and Love Help Homeless

Knitted Hats, scarves and mittens from our wonderful friend, Sandra R!  I always get super excited when we get mittens and Sandra's are particularly nice.  Lots of colors, different sizes...something warm lots of pairs of cold hands.  Also notice, some of the hats match the mitten colors to make nice sets.  

Sandra always remembers to tag the hats and mitten with size which is such a huge plus.  It saves me tremendous time and also those volunteers at the shelters.  When things can be quickly separated they get to those in need quicker.

Many thanks Sandra for your knitting skills and your on going support of Ohio's Homeless here on Bridge and Beyond.

Colorful Crocheted Scarves Help HOmeless

What fun colorful scarves!  Thank you Tammy M for this thoughtful donation.  I am particularly fond of the 2 tone gray and black scarf.  Love the design and it's a color that works well for anyone...any age or any gender.  These scarves are sized nicely for teens, I think.  They will enjoy the team look to your scarves. also.

Thank you for your generosity and thoughtfulness.  Hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond, and please do keep up the good work.

These scarves are nice and warm and we still have lots of nasty weather here in Central Ohio.  I'm cold most mornings here in the house even.  This has been a long winter.  Come on Spring.

Thank you Laura J for your Thoughtful and Generous Donation for Ohio's Homeless

 AND, here is the continuation of Laura J's awesome donation.  Love this pretty lapghan.  What a great way to use up left over variegated yarns.  I must check my stash, cause I think I'll be borrow this idea.  This soft and pretty lapghan will be wonderful for one of the ladies with it's pretty pale yellow background.
And, Laura's included more scarves.  Please click to see the detail of the far right scarf....the variegated camo one.  I really like this design of looking like it's triangles put together.  Very cool!

Where are You and Your Yarn From?

I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.

Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
