Crocheted Scarves Warm Ohio's Homeless

Solids, stripes and variegated yarns oh my.  Look at the variety in these scarves.  Something for everyone.  Some are more narrow and shorter for the younger set, and others are a bit wider and longer for adults.........some colors suitable for women, others for men.  Thank you Kathy S for this thoughtful donation of warm crocheted scarves for Ohio's Homeless and those in need.  As I type this scheduled post, it's another ugly cold, damp, snowy day here in Central Ohio so know these scarves will be well received.

I often wear scarves even in the house to have the added warmth around my neck.  As we age, arthritis seems to add to our discomfort of being cold, so scarves really are a terrific item.

Keep up the good work Kathy and know you make a difference.

Drum Roll, How Many Blog Posts?

The signage has nothing to do with Bridge and Beyond, nothing to do with homelessness, or yarn, or knitting or crocheting.......but, I thought you all might enjoy a chuckle.  It's been so cold and snowy around the country, thought we could all use a break.

As I was updating numbers this am for items donated because I was writing and scheduling 3 posts to publish, I noted it had been awhile since I had updated the number of blog posts written.  I keep that number under The Bridge and Beyond Blog Badge. 

AND.......wow, look at the number!  I was surprised to see how close we are to our 2,000th blog post.

2000

-1984

   16...........

2,000 blog posts with pictures of wonderful donations, and posts with stories or articles about things connected to being homeless.  

Hope you'll share a post or two with friends as we make our way towards 2,000.  As I write this post, we're having another cold, snowy day.  I heard the snow plows go down our street twice during the night, no doubt once each direction.  Oh, I'm sooooooooo ready for spring.

Knitting Helps Homeless

Thank you Laurabelle!  This is an awesome, Laurabelle.  What a nice variety of scarves, hats, cotton washcloths, and some personal care items.  I've always been a big fan of blue and green together so really love the stripped hat on the left.  Please click to enlarge the picture so you can see the details of this thoughtful donation.  

As you can also see, there are a couple of hat and scarf sets!  Those are especially nice.

Thank you Laurabelle and we're so happy you joined Bridge and Beyond.  We're thrilled to have you join us in warming and caring for Ohio's Homeless in Need.

First Donated Afghan for 2019 is Crocheted

YIPPEE!  Our good friend Karen S get's the applause for the first afghan to be donated in the year 2019.  It  looks sorta blue here in the picture, but really is more gray...blue-is gray.  It's nice and warm and crocheted beautifully.  The size and the color is suitable for anyone.......male or female.  Whomever get's this afghan will be thrilled and know someone cares.  Showing someone they are cared for, and not forgotten is so important.  That's why we focus so much on hand made.  Take your time, and your talent to knit or crochet something for someone you don't know shows them the caring, shows them the love.

Many thanks Karen, and please keep up the good work.  YOU do make a difference!!

I've got two afghans in the works right now myself.  What are you all working on?

Knitted Cotton Wash Cloths Make a Wonderful Donation

Awesome knitted cotton wash cloths!  Look at this nice variety in style, color and size that Melinda G has knitted.  I LOVE the blue and white that looks checkered.  I'm also a big fan of the half and half cloths.  Cotton washcloths are used several different ways and are always appreciated.  We donate them to the shelter as well as those living in the elements.  Cotton washcloths are wonderful for the skin, so the folks living in the elements really appreciate them.  You skin can be quite sensitive when you're in the cold and the wet and other elements of living outdoors the bulk of the time.  They also get put in welcome home packs that folks get when they leave shelter living for a permanent housing situation.  Men, women, and children all enjoy them.

Thank you for your thoughtful donation, Melinda and please keep up the good work.  You make an important difference to folks in need.
