Hats Warm Cold Homeless Heads

 Thank you, thank you Sandra R from the sunny state of Florida for this awesome donation of knitted hats.  So many heads will be warmed by your generosity.  LOVE the nice dark colors, preferred for our homeless for several reasons.  Sandra has been a long time and very faithful supporter of Bridge and Beyond.
We're happy you joined us long ago, and that you've stayed the course.  You and your skillful hands help so many people in need.  The hats are nicely tagged with size.  THANK YOU!!  I rolled down the brim for the solid green hat in this 2nd picture so you could how the hat looks with the brim down.  Nice to have these 2 options for folks, will also aid in fitting many different sized heads.  


In this 3rd picture, as well as the first; you can see Sandra has knitted and donated cotton washcloths along with her awesome hats.

Please keep up the good work, Sandra!

Yarn A Plenty

Yarn stash fun!  This is more of the yarn donated by Mary K through her daughter Dianne O.  If you didn't read the story of the Friday night parking lot "drop".  You might enjoy reading about HERE.
 See all the pretty yarn, gorgeous colors........projects galore.  All this means the ability to help more people.  Bet you're wanting to run your fingers through it, and squeeze it.

Crocheted Hats for Homeless in Ohio

Thank you Sandie P, long time supporter of Bridge and Beyond for this wonderful donation of crochet hats.  Special thanks for tagging them with size, that saves so many people so much time; both here at my house and at the various shelters where our crocheted and knitted donations go.  Hint Hint...folks if you've not been tagging hats, mittens, and slippers with size PLEASE do.

Sandie P was I think the first supporter of Bridge and Beyond.  If not the first, she was certainly one of the first.  She and I had worked on a charity making afghans for victims of Katrina........if that gives you an idea how long we've know each other.  

Please keep up the good work Sandie, and know how much we value your long standing support and talented hands.

These 4 hats will warm 4 people in need, many thanks!

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?
