Crochet Hats Donated to Aid the Homeless

Thank you Sandie P, for this thoughtful donation of crocheted hats and scarves for our Homeless here in Central Ohio.  Sandie hails from Louisiana, and is someone you probably all remember as one of the very first people to donate here on Bridge and Beyond years ago when the whole idea began.  I so appreciate Sandie's longevity.  

These hats have already been delivered and are no doubt already putting a smile on 5 grateful people's faces.  

We've had some very cool nights already folks, with frost, so the true cold weather isn't far behind.  Please keep your hooks and needles busy.  The Homeless truly need you, and the warmth you all provide.

Donation from Team in Puerto Rico

 Thank you DaMaris and your friend Nancy for this thoughtful and generous donation of knitted goodies.  DaMaris donates all the way from Puerto Rico which I think is pretty special.  She's encouraged her friend Nancy to join in.  Awesome team work from both ladies.  Welcome Nancy, thrilled to have you join us.  These hats are nicely tagged with sized.....another item that gets me excited.  Hats and scarves are loomed.  Love the nice double thickness scarves..

Also, such nice sized scarves for wrapping up and being warm.  Nice dark colors too!  

Many thanks DaMaris for recruiting more helping hands!  Hope to see both you and Nancy here on Bridge and Beyond often.  Keep up the good work, Ladies.

*Folks you may have recently read I'm taking more pictures in order to better highlight the beautiful donations for your all.  Better to see them, and to spread our posts to help the blogs placement which has fallen from it's SEO location a year ago.  What that means is, you'll see more donations from DaMaris and Nancy, so please do keep checking in.  Remember your spending time here on the blog reading and posting comments is also helpful...........something you can all do when you're taking a break from knitting or crocheting.......hint hint*

Crocheting for the Homeless

 Sorry this picture is so dark folks one of the last one I tried to take just before the warning on my camera said the battery was exhausted.  The booties/slippers in the upper left corner are a pretty dark purple which is hard to see in this picture.  Many thanks to our good friend Barbara F for this thoughtful donation of crocheted slippers, hats, and cotton wash cloths.

 AND.......personal care, more pretty crocheted cotton washcloths and a scarf for our homeless and those in need here in Central Ohio.  LOVE the blue green cotton, reminds me of the beach which sounds really nice right now with frosty cold nights.

Barbara is very generous with her time and talent, more lovely hats!  And all so nicely tagged with sized.  Special thanks for that Barbara, please keep up the good work.  We're thrilled to have your support here on Bridge and Beyond.
