Clapping for Knitted Mittens for the Homeless

Are you clapping with me?  Bet you are, we all get so excited when we get donations of mittens.  And, if you've been here a couple of times, you probably even know who knitted these awesome mittens.  Go on, guess.  None other than our very good friend Sandra R from Florida..  She's been really busy, as you can see knitting mittens and hats.  Please click to see details.  She's knitted mittens in a wide range of sizes and colors.  Lots of warmer hands, thanks to Sandra!!

Sandra has also included knitted hats, see the top portion of the picture.  All the hats and mittens are nicely tagged with size and the mittens paired together.  Fabulous donation.

Over the years Sandra's been donating to Bridge and Beyond, she has warmed many people in need.  Thank you for your on going support of Ohio's homeless.

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
