Clapping for Mittens and More

Thank you Sandra R for this awesome donation.  As you can Sandra has been very very busy.  She's knitted hats, and mittens ( you know I'm dancing in the street), cotton washcloths and scarves.

Sandra has been a long time supporter of Bridge and Beyond and our primary mitten maker!  Many many thanks Sandra.  As always, please click the picture to enlarge so you can see details.  She tagged all hats and mittens with size, special thanks!  There's a variety of sizes and colors, as well as different hat styles.

I had delivered last week to both Homeless Families Foundation and Rae, our friend who prepares hot meals for the folks living out in the elements.  So these wonderful items, along with those posted in previous days are already in the hands of those who need them.

I hope you're all staying safe from The Covid.  

Many thanks Sandra and please keep up the good work.

Crocheting in New York Aids Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Annemarie D from New York for this awesome donation of crocheted goodies.  She has been very busy, as you can see.  Please click the picture to enlarge so you can see details.  Lots of hats, all nicely tagged with size.  Lots of variety in colors, sizes, and styles.  She's also included a couple of pair of mittens.......see me clapping!  AND cotton washcloths.  Very nice.
AND this awesome brown and tan checkered afghan.  I really like this design.  No clue how hard or easy it is to crochet, but really like it.  It's a great color too for either male or female.  

Many thanks for your long time support of Bridge and Beyond and takin care of Ohio's homeless so in need.  

AND, there's more.  I ran out of floor space so needed to take a 2nd photo.  Some more cotton washcloths here, another hat, and scarves.  Whew,  Annemarie's been busy indeed.

Keep up the good work and know you've really made a difference.

Loomed Hats, Scarves, and Afghan Warm Those in Need

Thank you Karen S for this awesome donation of knitted (loomed) hats and afghan.  The afghan is nice and solid so will be very warm.  AND loomed hats are always great.  As always special thanks for your cute tags on the hats with sizes.  It really adds a nice touch.
 AND in a 2nd pouch more great loomed hats and a scarf.  Karen has been a long time supporter of Bridge and Beyond.  Your work is so appreciated Karen.  I know the folks wearing these hats are much warmer and happier.  I delivered a large donation last week, but have been a bit pre-occupied with all the Covid and the election, so am behind in my blog postings.  My apologies.

I hope everyone is staying safe from Covid and warm with the changing weather.  Please be extra careful folks as we move indoors.

Many thanks Karen for your on going support, and please know you make an important difference.

Knitting and More for the Homeless

Thank you Laura E for this thoughtful donation of goodies for our homeless friends.  Laura has been busy knitting cotton washcloths, hats, and scarves.  Please click to see details.  She has paired a couple of the hats with scarves and tied together to make a nice gift set.  

She has a wonderful array of personal care items from toothpaste, and toothbrushes, to soap, band aides and more.  Band aides such a good idea.  She's also included female sanitary products and wipes.  Very nice selection of needed items.

And with the cold damp weather socks are such a plus.  She's included socks for both men and women.  Many thanks for your generous donation.

As always, please keep up the good work.  AND ...if you clicked to enlarge picture, did you notice the ray of sunshine?  We've not seen much of that lately, so am giving Laura credit for boxing some of that up along with her donation, lol.

Tote Bags and More for the Homeless




Thank you Nikki S for this awesome donation.  Nikki has included 6 scarves, lots of good personal care items, and tote bags in her donation.  The tote bags are a great idea!  Folks living day to day, in a shelter or out in the elements need means of keeping their stuff together.  

Special thanks too for the delivery, right to my door; much appreciated.  

As always, please click the picture to enlarge to see details.  I'm particularly fond of the scarf at the bottom of picture, love that color combination.  AND the scarf above the tan tote, where you see the V's in 2 colors........what stitch is that, not familiar with it.

Many thanks Nikki for your on going support of Bridge and Beyond, it's always appreciated.  Please keep up the good work.

Loomed Hats Warm Cold Heads of Homeless

Thank you Sharon D for this thoughtful donation of 4 warm hats.  Sharon D is our newest pair of helping hands.  We're thrilled you found us here on Bridge and Beyond, Sharon and put your talents to work.  These 4 hats are knitted on a loom and have the nice double band which always makes the hats nice and warm.  

Sharon D is our newest pair of helping hands.  Welcome to the group Sharon.  We hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond.  LOVE the colors you've chosen, particularly those dark blues.  These colors work well for men or women.  Well done!!

Folks the weather has been really ugly here for a week.  We've had cold, gray, wet for a solid week, and as I write this post and schedule it to post, it's raining....AGAIN.  So please keep your needles and hooks and looms busy.

As the weather turns here and elsewhere, please all be extra careful as you move indoors and stay safe from the Corona Virus.

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?
