Knitted Afghans Help Ohio's Homeless

 Thank you Marilyn W for this awesome donation of crocheted afghans.  I LOVE the colors in this first one, I think it's sorta Buckeyeish.  It's made with double yarn or chunky yarn, not sure...hey Marilyn which?  It's therefore nice and warm and squishy.  This will surely make someone's day when they receive it.

Ahhhhhhh, Feather and Fan a real favorite of mine, it's always such a good pattern choice.  Again this is made with chunky or double yarn and will keep someone nice and cozy.  

Marilyn is a high school classmate of mine, well actually we've known each other even longer then that.  We knew each other way back in junior high, so it's very special to me that she's helping us here on Bridge and Beyond.  We enjoyed a bit of catch up the other day when we met for breakfast so she could along her donations.

**stay tuned folks, there's more; but remember I'm breaking up some of the donations to minimize the number of pictures in a post, to help you all see the lovely items better, and to give us more consistency with a post daily**

Crocheted Afghan truly says Welcome Home

If I were naming this afghan it would have to be something along the lines of Caribbean Cruise.   I've always been a big fan of blues and greens together, this definitely makes me think of ocean and salty breezes.  Another wonderful team effort with squares made by our good friend from New York, AnneMarie, and assembled by our other good friend, Sherry K right here in Buckeye Land.  It also reminds me of the first 2 peace bathing suit I had way back in the day.  Twas a real 2 piece too, not a bikini.  Back in the dark ages when I was a young girl you stayed pretty covered up ...even in a 2 piece.  Boy legs were more like shorts, the waste was covered and the top was anything but skimpy.  Anyone as old as dirt like me and remember the style I'm describing?  lol

Thank you Sherry and AnneMarie, you both Rock!

Crocheted Afghans Welcome Families Home

 Thank you Patty S for these two crocheted afghans.  I'm not sure, but think maybe this a broomstick lace type stitch?  Patty is it?  The burgundy should work well for a child to cuddle up in,

and the blue and variegated one is long enough for a tall adult.  Both are heavy and therefore nice and warm.  And who doesn't like blue, this will be definitely be a hit whomever is the recipient.  Keep up the good work Patty.

Folks it's been awhile since I've posted what we do with our afghans, they're given to families when they leave shelter living and transition into their permanent housing situation.  It's a way of saying congratulations your move, a house warming gift, and good luck for the future that we hope is brighter for you and yours.
