Loomed Hats Help Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Connor!  Connor W from Nevada is our newest pair of helping hands.  We're thrilled to have you helping us Connor with your loomed hats.  Love the nice dark colors, truly the best for Homeless.  Hats are probably the biggest thing that can make a difference in how warm someone is....or the lack of one and how cold.  Hats help to insult the whole body, help to keep a head dry from rain, sleet, snow etc.

While our daytime temperatures here in Ohio can still be quite comfortable, the nights have already become uncomfortable.  We've already nights registering barely 50.  50, when you're living in the elements can be very uncomfortable so our hats, scarves and more are already in need.

Please that we've been able to get a nice large donation down to the Homeless Family Foundation before true Fall hits.  Thank you all for all you do.

Help me Welcome Connor to Bridge and Beyond.  Please keep up the good work Connor.  We hope to see you here often!

Knitting Afghans and More for Homeless

 Thank you Sandra R from Florida where so many endured so much recently from Hurricane Irma.  Sandra included.  Relieved to hear you're ok.  Such widespread tragedy and destruction.  Beautifully knitted cotton washcloths.  I love love the brown, the men folk will too.  The pattern in the green scarf is like ribbing and therefore nice and thick...sorta squishy, which will make it nice and warm~

Sandra excels in knitting these awesome Log Cabin Afghans.  She mixes colors so nicely that the afghans work well for men and women.  Beautifully made as always!  These style is really a personal favorite of mine, and what a great way to use up odds and ends.  If you've spent anytime looking at traditional quilts, you'll see this log cabin style frequently.  Lovely, please click to enlarge the picture so you can see this beauty

Yarn, Yarn, Yarn EveryWhere

I saved these picture some time back to share with you all, and just came across it again and realized....I hadn't shared it with you.

Seriously, we all need a good laugh or a smile..........this did it for me.  How about you?  First off, let me say, I'm amazed whomever is driving the car isn't complaining about the yarn on the deck...sorta in the way of viewing?  Or at least if I were driving would be for me.  I do knit and crochet in the car.  I find long car trips boring otherwise.  Plus, hubby loves to drive and I don't.  So, I can often get's lots done in the car.  But, hello canvas bags.

Do you knit or crochet in the car?

How do you transport your yarn and your project?

Loving the ghan?  I assume it's a ghan, and it looks like she's doing some serious stash busting using every color of the rainbow.
