YIPPEE!! Two posts ago I mentioned that the picture showing Sandra R's scarves had been lost. It's since been found. Somehow when transferring from phone to computer this picture ended up in the wrong file folder. How two pictures taken the same day and transferred the same day, at the same time could end up in two different folders......I am clueless. I have always transferred to my Yarn/Bridge folder and somehow this ended up in a totally unrelated folder.
The Good is now you all get to see what I saw, how nice Sandra's scarves all. Nice, thick, warm and colorful. AND...did you notice the two tone brown scarf? She's again used that method first introduced to us by Karen S. Doubled Ended Crochet. Click for the post with u-tube video describing this method of crocheting known by so many names. You might have heard of Cro-hooking, Crochenit...or Reversible Tunisian.
So am thrilled the picture's been found and I can share the picture with you. Sandra's has been a long time, generous supporter here on Bridge and Beyond. Thank you Sandra and please keep up the good work. You make a difference.

Blogging in Alphabetical Order, Q=Queue, Qualify, & Quality
This graphic, picture has nothing to do with today's blog post, just a little funny I thought I'd share with you all. Spotted it awhile back on Facebook.
Did you notice the numbers with our afghan goal? We have officially now pasted the half way mark with our donations! I'm thrilled to see that and hope we more than meet the goal as it's lower than some of our years.
I'm currently over half way on an afghan I'm knitting. Are you working on one?
Today's letter is Q in our blogging in Alphabetical Order. Q, is never an easy letter. The last two times through the alphabet, I blogged using the word quilt. But, today I've chosen Queue, Quality, and Qualify as words that start with the letter Q.
Below is our Queue...of blogs while blogging in alphabetical Order this time round. If you've not read any of these blog posts; please do take time. And the only way we know you've visited is to leave a comment. (hint hint, wink wink).

Quality. I believe we improve the quality of someone's day when we gift them a warm hat, or scarf, or beautiful afghan. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't be continuing with Bridge and Beyond. I believe you all think the same or you wouldn't spend your valuable time and tremendous skills to knit and crochet for Bridge and Beyond.
Qualify. One of the problems Homeless people face is knowing what help they might quality for. Knowing where to go, whom to talk to in order to find out what they might qualify for. There are out reach programs that carry note cards with names, phone numbers, and addresses of help programs to give to homeless people they encountered to help them in the process. Sometimes they also provide transportion or bus passes to help those in need. Think about that, if you needed help tomorrow.....do you know how to find out what you might quality for? Sadly, a large number of people really don't. So think about that and add being hungry, sleep deprived and or fearful to the mix. These are just of what homeless people deal with on a daily basis.

Knitted Log Cabin Afghan Donated
GORGEOUS!!! I love this style afghan. It's the log cabin style. Our good friend Sandra R has knitted several in this style for us before. And they are always so wonderfullly done. These colors are so nice together. I really love the look of this one and know it will be thrilling to whomever receives this. It's perfect in size and colors to work for men, women, and or a family!
Sandra also included 5 scarves, but sadly something happened to the picture, so I can't share them with you. I know there were 5 based on her note and mine here by the computer, but the picture.........no clue what happened to it. I can't retake the photo, because things have already been delivered.
With my broken foot it had been longer than I like since making rounds. So hubby loaded up his car (explorer holds more than my car), and took me the other day during his lunch break. I am now able to move around better, but am still limited and carrying back and forth and trying to walk while carrying aren't things I'm able to do well, just yet.
As always Sandra, many many thanks for your generosity and your ongoing support of Bridge and Beyond and Ohio's Homeless in Need.

Homeless Man's Belongings and Pollution, Blogging in Alphabetical Order
Today's letter in our blogging in alphabetical order is P. I focused on Pollution. When I viewed this video, that's what first came to mind. This jogger, initially named #Jogger Joe and later identified as Henry William Sintay is polluting. Does he actually think he's helping clean up trash...or what he thinks is trash by throwing it in Lake Merritt in Oakland California?
- Yes, some of the stuff, the personal belongings of a homeless man may appear to be trash to walkers, runners etc that frequent the area; but how does breaking the bottles and spreading them about help?
- How does stealing personal belongings that aren't yours help?
- How does polluting The Lake seem like a good idea?
- How can things like this be fixed? Are there not enough trash cans around for the homeless man to put his actual trash in?
- What a cruel and thoughtless thing for this #joggerJoe, #HenryWilliamSintay to do. I'm glad he was arrested and put in jail and fined.
- Doing a google search produces several articles and other video's. Apparently This Henry William Sintay arrest is for first degree robbery, he's also assaulted someone, tried to steal a cell phone. Thus the large bail at $100,000.00.
- In one clip he says he's cleaning up trash and pretends not to know it's a homeless person's belongings........in another clip he says the man has taken up permanent residence in this area. So clearly he knew it was just "trash".
- Homeless person is Greg Markson known to people in the area as a peaceful homeless man who goes by the name of Drew (which I saw spelled a few different ways in my google search of articles).
- JJ Harris is the person who did the filming.
- When Greg Markson returned to what had been his tidy camp (according to those who interacted with him on a regular basis), he stuff had been destroyed. Locals brought him fresh blankets to help him through the weekend.
**This is the same park where a White Woman recently called the police on Black picnickers who were grilling out. You might remember his video went viral. Speculation is, this White JoggerJoe, Henry William Sintay is yet another racist incident, as the homeless man who's camp was destroyed is a Black Man.

Being Homeless, An Outcast Causes Outrage...Or Does It?
Blogging in alphabetical order and today's letter is O. Two words came to mind. Outrage and Outcast.
Being Homeless is a horrible, National problem; but are we truly outraged? Does our government share the outrage? If we as a nations were truly outraged, could we solve the problem? I wonder. I have no answers, but I wonder.
Almost everyone has felt some form being an outcast at some point in their lives. Maybe in the neighborhood, maybe at school, maybe at work. Where you didn't fit it, you didn't belong. Or felt you didn't belong. You were an outcast. Not a good feeling for anyone. Take that feeling and multiple it by being homeless, by not knowing when you might eat next. Or not knowing where you might sleep or if you were going to get relief from the cold, or the heat, or the rain, or the wind, or the snow or the sleet and ice. Take that feeling and multiple it by not knowing if you were safe?
This article, while not recent described some of these feelings of being an outcast.

Blogging in Alphabetical Order, Nameless Afghans
Reviewing some of the ghans that have been designed and laid aside to be assembled and came across several without names. As today is N in our blogging in alphabetical order, thought I'd share them with you to see if we could come up with some names for these no named afghans.
I shared this one some time back and thought I'd name it Rolling Hills, but looking at it again...I'm just not sure. Other thoughts for a name for this one?
Or this one? These last 2 are more of the stripes someone intended to be scarves, but are too short to be scarves, but putting them together can make an afghan. Both of these will be quite narrow and need some addition to the sides, but then I think will work. Just don't names for them and am hoping you all might have some ideas. I'll continue thinking as well.
The first one is squares. They're not all the same size, but are pretty close so am hopeful not too much will need to be done to make them all fit together.

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.
