Donating Crocheted Cotton Washcloths

 Pretty, and bright, and cheery.  Look at this neat collection of cotton washcloths from our long time supporter, Sandie P from Louisiana.  Lots of variety in colors, sizes, and styles.  If I had to pick a favorite it might be a toss up between the pink and blue and or the yellow and green.  Remember you can always click on the picture to enlarge so you can see details better.  Interesting stitches, Sandie.  Care to tell us how you did that?  AND, look at the little blue one on the far right bottom.  I put it there, sorta by it'self so you all could see it.  It's double.  Wondering if there's a name for this pod like design?

 Here it is where tugged a bit at the 2 sides so you could see what I mean.  I bet that would make a great scrubby for the tub and or doing dishes.

Thank you Sandie, come again....soon.

Warm Scarves for the Homeless

Thank you Mary H from Ohio for these 7 crocheted scarves.  They're nice and warm and will be very much appreciated by those who wrap them around their necks.  We appreciate you're on going support and hope to see you here again soon!

With the end of January coming upon us wanted to let you know that February will continue to focus on feet.  We'll continue with our slipper focus and add socks.  Hope to get a working calendar up pretty soon folks, stay tuned.

Knitted Hats to Keep Homeless Warm

 5 Awesome knitted hats from the talented needles of our Marie P in Tennessee.  These hats are super soft, nice and warm, and very stretchy.  I love when hats are nice and stretchy...helps them fit a variety of head sizes.  Special thanks for adding the size tags, it is soooooooo appreciated.  Not just by me when I sort and bag items to determine where they go; but also at the receiving end in the various shelters etc.

I particularly like the variegated blue mix in the upper right of the picture.  Very pretty!  Keep up the good work Marie.  Look forward to seeing you here again soon and often.

Warmth Donations for Ohio's Homeless from Texas

Thank you Maria R from Texas for this thoughtful donation.  The Shawls will be such a nice item for the women to wrap up in and keep warm.  Folks the shawl with fringe (a triangle shawl) is actually a pretty purple, though in my picture on my computer it looks blue.  There are 3 other wraps/shawls...rose, the black and rose mix, and the green in front of the purple triangle one.  These are so nice and soft and large enough to be wrap around ones shoulders for warmth.  Top left in the picture are 4 scarves.

Thank you Maria for your on going support, it's greatly appreciated.  Hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond.

**The focus for the remainder of January is slippers.  AND, we'll continue focusing on feet in February.  Cold, and wet feet are miserable.  So...for the month of February we'll continue with slippers as our focus AND add socks for the feet.  Socks are store bought and should be for men who live outdoors 99% of the time.  Remember to check out the slipper tab at the top of the blog for information about sizing, colors, styles, fiber type etc.  You might enjoy using one of the patterns available there as well.   February  continues to be about feet.**
