Did you know there are 3 lists of people who donate on this blog?  

1. A list of people who donate who have a blog (right sidebar)
2. A list of people who donate who have either a Ravelry or Facebook Profile page (also right side bar
3. A list of those who donate not listed on either of the other two lists. (located in the tabs area at the top of the blog.

In most cases besides the person name (first name last initial) is the state they're from.  In the first two lists the names are links to those people's blogs, Facebook, and or Ravelry profile page.  Please take a look, find your name.  Do I have the state you're from listed?  If not, please leave a comment and let me know where so that it can be updated.  It's not only nice to know who's from where, it also helps me differentiate 5 people with the same name.  AND, it's how I update the map at the bottom of the blog.  Have you taken a look recently?

Are you on the right list?  Maybe you're up in the tab area, without a link and since then have joined Facebook, or Ravelry or started blogging?  If so, please let me know so I can add your link.

**See the importance of being on the right lists, LOL

Donating Slipper Socks for Cold Feet

Another day brings us another new pair of helping hands!  I love the on going support our "regulars" give to the cause, and I love when we attract new pairs of helping hands.  Abby B yesterday (scroll back and see her donation), and Paulette J today.  Thank you Paulette, we're thrilled to have you join us here on Bridge and Beyond and look forward to seeing you often.

Paulette has knitted nice thick heavy and warm slipper socks!  Please do click to enlarge the picture folks.  Don't these look squishy comfy.  Thank you Paulette for taking the time to tag each one with size, so many people appreciate that.  Would love to add your slipper sock pattern to the slipper page here on Bridge and Beyond.  Can you leave us a comment with the link, please and thanks.  Looks like a good one.

Helping Hands from Illinois Help Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Karen J from Illinois for this awesome donation of crocheted hats and scarves.  Look at the nice variety both in color and in size of Karen's hats!  And special thanks for taking time to tag them with size.  I am asking everyone to do that, please and thanks.  It saves enormous time both at my end and again the time of the volunteers at the various shelters.

.  Keep up the good work, Karen.

More Helping Hands for Homeless

Please say hello to Pat O from New York, our newest pair of helping hands.  Pat's crocheted 2 scarves and included much needed personal care items in her donation.  The blue scarf I believe is made with double yarn as it's nice and thick, though it could be bulky yarn?  Did you crochet using 2 strands of yarn, Pat?

Welcome to the group, hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond.

*Reminders:
Please avoid using white, tan, beige and in general pastels
Please always tag your hats, slippers, and mittens with size
Please launder your items if you have furry friends who like to sit on your crafted items, plus it softens them up and gives a more finished look.
Please include a note in your box with your name and email address
