Knitted Cotton Washcloths with a Pocket!

Thank you, Thank you Sue F for this thoughtful donation and your ongoing wonderful support of Ohio's cold and homeless.  Sue has a real potpourri of goodies here for those in need.  Sue has knitted mittens (she me dancing...you know how excited I get when we get mittens!), hats, and cotton washcloths.  Please click to enlarge (though I tried to make this picture larger then normal) to check out the details...she's knitted a washcloth with a cool cool pocket where a bar of soap and more will fit.  What a fabulous idea!

Sue's also included lots of personal care items.........these are always needed, summer, winter, spring and fall by all the shelters as well as those living on streets that we care for.

Many thanks Sue, and please keep up the good work!

Hats, Scarves, Mittens, and Slippers from New York Aid Ohio's Homeless

Woot Woot!  People who help the homeless with their skilled hands and yarn make me smile.  Thank you Annemarie from New York, once again for your thoughtfulness with the vast donation of crocheted goodies.  If you've been reading this blog while you know Annemarie is a wonderful supportor giving us her time and talent.

These has, slippers, scarves, and mittens will put many smiles on faces of people less fortunate then us.  We physical warm people with our crafted donations certainly.  But, we also warm their souls when they know someone they didn't know took time to hand make something special for them.

Please keep up the good work!

Though it is spring (and now the font changes back?), it is still cold here many days and nights.  Sitting inside right now with cold feet and a fleece on if that gives you any ideas.  Donations are still needed.  So thanks to all whom are keeping their yarn and hands busy.

As some of your know I recently returned from a trip abroad, first ever!  Hubby and I were fortunate enough to travel to Spain.  It was truly an awesome experience.  Love to share it all with you, and am blogging about it everyday this month (May) on Traveling Suitcase.  Come explore with me, travel virtually while you knit and crochet.

I've also been working more hours then normal, and April (for those who blog) is the month for the annual blog challenge.  Whew.......hoping things slow down a bit.  Not here on Bridge and Beyond though.  And look what else our friend Tristi crocheted and donated!  This afghan will be soooooo appreciated by whomever receives it Tristi.  Thank you for your hard work.   Ok.....anyone know why the font suddenly changed?
