Thank you Phyllis G for this wonderful donation of matching hat and scarf sets. This are super soft and warm and will so appreciated by those who receive them. Fantastic colors! I also love how nicely you paired them. As you can see (be sure to click to enlarge the picture so you can see details), the hats and scarves are nicely joined together so the set looks very much like you're giving a gift! What a wonderful idea.
Folks this donation was suppose to be posted a while back. I had it in que, or so I thought to be published while I was out of town and for some reason the date on the schedule was goofy, so it never got posted. I spotted it while looking through drafts here this am. Sorry for the delay in sharing this lovely donation from Phyllis with you.
As I type this new post up to share with you, it's 21 degrees out, with some light snow flurries...so, indeed the winter has hit us here in Central Ohio and your warm knitted and crocheted and loomed items are needed by our Homeless Friends. I hope you're all busy with hook and yarn, or needles and yarn.

If you're traveling for the holiday, safe travels to you and yours. I hope as you're letting the food digest today, you'll have yarn in hand busy working on something for someone else. I'll be toting an afghan I'm working on to the family gathering and plan to work on it, after the feast...while others are watching football. How about you?

Look at this wonderful collection of hats and mittens! All are tagged with size and all beautifully made. These are from a good friend and long supporter, Sandra R from the Sunny State of Florida. Please click the picture to see the details. The hats are several different styles and sizes. AND what a wonderful assortment of color. AND you know how excited I get with mitten donations!
Sandra and her crochet hook have been very busy...just as busy as she was above with her knitting needles. Look at this lovely corner to corner crocheted afghan. I love the colors, and believe this works well for a male or female to wrap up in and feel loved, as well as warm.
Don't stop scrolling, she also included Scarves! Several styles and colors here also. Some knit and some crocheted.
Many thanks Sandra for your thoughtful donation, please keep up the good work.

Thank you Cynthia B and Juli B....these scarves are a continuation of their donation posted on November 1st. I mentioned they had more, but generally try to minimize the number of pictures here on this blog, Bridge and Beyond.
Again scarves with lots of different colors, same crocheted width-wise and tohers lengthwise. Notice some more Buckeye Scarves! Those are always a hit. These ladies teamed up with their crocheting, what a nice way to connect with people.
Thank you Cynthia and Juli, please remember to pack some sun next time, lol. Yes, they are from The Sunshine State and it's only early November and I'm already tired of the frost and cold. Please keep up the good work.

Thank you Karen S....for this thoughtful donation. Bet you all knew it was from her the minute you saw the scarves; though others have now started crocheting scarves in this fashion as well. You can't go wrong with the color of blue. Blue works well for men or women...and blue works well for any age group. Always LOVE the look of the light and darker side with this stitch. And Karen's also included some nice warm knit on a loom hats. Many thanks Karen for taking the time to tag hats with size, that's always appreciated by the folks at the shelters as well as me. It also spends up time in getting donated hats to the right folks....size wise.
AND...look, Karen's also crocheted a lapghan in nice blues and tans, again suitable for men or women. The size (lapghan), can also work nicely for a younger child to snuggle up in.
Many thanks Karen for your on going support of Bridge and Beyond and Ohio's Homeless.

Crocheted scarves, headbands, and cotton wash cloths!!
Look how many different colors and sizes are available in this very generous donation from Cynthia B and Juli B! Awesome work ladies from the sunny state of Florida. Some scarves are made side to side and others are crocheted lengthwise.
Some...even look like Buckeye Colors in this picture!! LOVE the one on the far right. All are great, but I like how that one is almost solid.....but bold with color at the same time.
Well done ladies! Keep up the good work and know you're making a difference here on Bridge and Beyond. We've had over a week of frost at night, and a few nights below freezing temps already. I fear it's going to be a long cold winter.
Folks take a look at our totals, look at the graphs....things are growing. Do your best and will keep plugging away at those goals.
**psssssssss, please check back in, these picture do NOT represent the whole donation from Cynthia and Julie!! Stay tuned.

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.
