Thank you Karen S for your continued support here on Bridge and Beyond. Ohio's Homeless benefit from your kindness. By now, I bet most of you can tell as soon as you see a picture that's it's from Karen with her style of cro-knit scarves. The texture is spongy, and thick and warm. LOVE the colors. Some suitable for the men folk, some for the women, and some that can be either.
Many thanks for this generous donation. Thanks also for tagging your hats with size. Folks, this is such a nice way to mark the hats. Karen has cut (either with a dye or perhaps pinking shears circles and punched a hole to tie on with yarn.
As always, please keep up the good work.
Have you all noticed our little graphs are moving...a little here, a little there.
Thank you for all you do.

Wanda Witter lives homeless for 16 LONG years in DC while trying to get the money owed her from Social Security. No one listens, they think she's crazy. Finally 16 long years later, her case has been proven and she has a home, and all the money owed her, $100,000.00.
Please watch Lester Holt talk about this in the video.

This story tells about a mother, Ebony and her 4 children being homeless, living out of their 20 year old car, a Buick. How she was arrested, the car impounded by The Atlanta Police Department. But, there's more as reported by CNN's Victor Blackwell. This is a post for the letter V....a bit of stretch perhaps using the reporters first name to fulfill the alphabetical challenge of the needed post.

Previously I was referring to this afghan as The Eclectic Afghan, but I had already named a recent crocheted one that, so with the help of some of my Fitbit Friends decided to call this the Blanket of Many Colors. You can see it's grown quite a bit in size and color. Currently it's 9 colors, though I do have one more color to work into it. A dark purple.
It traveled to Hilton Head with me when I went with hubby previously and it traveled with me again more recently when I had a week with girl friends. Below is how it started it's 2nd journey.
Hoping to be able to show it's completion fairly soon.
What are you all working on?

Thank you Tammy S for this thoughtful and generous donation of goodies. Tammy is our newest pair of helping hands and hails from the state of Pennsylvania. Welcome to Bridge and Beyond. LOVE these scarves. Folks click to see details, she has crocheted using I believe triple crochet front and back post to create a wonderful texture to her nice large scarves. These are all sized large enough for men! They are thick due to the texture.
AND 18 pairs of very nice heavy warm socks. Each pack has 3 pairs of socks, thus 18 pairs of feet will now be warmer. Warm dry feet can sure make someone more comfortable.
AND look at this wonderful selection of personal care items. Klenex, hand wipes that can be used when our homeless friends have no water to wash up. Soap and lotion.......AND first aid kits! That is something I've never thought about before, but think it's a wonderful idea and something that be well received.
Many thanks Tammy for your thoughtfulness, sure hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond, and please keep up the good work.

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.
