2nd to the Last Donation of 2019 for Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Laura E!  This is our 2nd to last donation here on Bridge and Beyond for the year 2019.  Lots of variety with personal care items, knitted hats, knitted cotton wash cloth and a set with hat and scarf.

Many thanks Laura for your on going support of Bridge and Beyond.

Please click the picture to enlarge it so you can see the details of her hats.  There's a textured area in the center front with cute buttons on a couple of them and a little flower like on another.  Ahhhhhhhhh, very sweet.

Folks I'm trying to determine who sent the very last donation of 2019.  I have 2 crocheted scarves, but I don't have a note to indicate whom they're from.  Please sing out either here in the comment section, or email me, or send a note via this blog where it says contact me/message me.  Thanks

Laura, please keep up the good work and know you've made such an important difference in the lives of many.

Crocheted Hats and Scarves for Bridge and Beyond

Thank you Kathy S for this wonderful donation of crocheted goodies. Kathy has been busy, as you can see.  She's been busy crocheting scarves and hats.  Great colors Kathy!  As of the time of writing and scheduling this post, this could be the last donation of the year....however, by the time you read this scheduled post, we could have others......so stay tuned.  

Post will continue and counts for donated items for 2019 will continue through the end of the year...even if those items received before the end of the year are posted in early 2020.  Wow, that seems odd to type 2020.  It's been a rather fast year it seems to me.

Many thanks Kathy for thoughtfulness, please know you have warmed those in need.

Donations Help Others

Thank you Laura E for this thoughtful donation.  Laura has included quite a variety of goodies in her donation for Bridge and Beyond.  Lots of personal items, slippers, socks, a hat and scarf, and cotton washcloths.  

Many thanks Laura.  Please know your help is very much appreciated.  Folks, keep our friend Laura in your thoughts, please.  She's recovering from surgery and a family tragedy; but still is giving of herself to help others.  What a special person she is.

((HUGS)) Laura, please take care of you and again thank you for your thoughtful donation.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas.  I hope you all are staying warm and healthy.  I hope you're able to spend time with friends and loved ones on this special day.  

I'd like to be sitting by that fireplace right now, as it's COLD here.  Yesterday when I got up it was 10, today 20 degrees.  Those temperatures make you realize how important these warm knitted items we make donate are.

If you're traveling for holidays, I hope you all have safe travels.

Please think of others, less fortunate on this special day.

Loomed Hats Warm Homeless

Thank you Karen S for this awesome donation of knitted hats and scarf.  Karen has loomed the hats which are always great.  The method of knitting hats with a loom provides a double thickness for the brim area (which covers the ears), and is always nice.  She's added cute size tags.  Please click to see the details of tags which are heart shaped and say handmade specially for you.  They include the size and are tied onto the hats.  Perfect!

She's always included one of her signature scarves made with the cro-knit method.  I've posted the video on how to do this interesting stitch several times here on Bridge and Beyond.  If you're interested, use the search box in the right hand sidebar and it will come up for you.  You get a two tone effect, lots of texture and added warm, as this stitch is a bit thicker by nature.

Many thanks Karen for your on going support of Bridge and Beyond and Ohio's Homeless.  Please keep up the good work.  You do make a difference.

Heat Wave Yarn Helps The Homeless

Thank you Sandie P from Louisiana for these great crochete scarves.  The first picture, the solids...all great colors.  AND Sandie recently shared she'd tried out a new yarn.  Red Heart Heat Wave.  Very interesting, heat generating yarn.  It's machine washable and comes in a 3.5 oz 198 yard skein.  It's sunlight activated even on cloudy days according to the wrapper.  I had no idea such a thing existed, but.........she did and tried it out.  The feel is still soft.  Someone with more physics background might understand how this is possible, goes it sure goes over my head.  Thank you Sandie for spreading the info.

These two additional scarves are fun, the blend of the 3 colors on the left (not stripes, but blocks of color, love it!)and a very lightly changing colored of gray, taupe and purple on the right.

Many thanks for your long time support of Bridge and Beyond and Ohio's Homeless in Need.  You've made such an important difference in the lives of many through the years.  Keep up the good work.
