Under The Bridge: July 2024

August 2024

Welcome to August. Only 4 months until our 2024 Santa Under The Bridge project. Hard to believe with us in the midst of heatwaves, that old man winter is only a couple of months away. In fact, I'll be starting to grow my beard the end of this month. Well, growing may not be the exact word because that sounds like work and all I really have to do is stop shaving.

We are continuing to make afghans. Although we do not usually know who the blankets are for when we knit or crochet them, Nancy made one that she hopes will find its way to Marguerite Center.

Nancy and Bernie had collaborated on one. Bernie knits the squares and Nancy does the crochet work.

Bernie and Nancy have one in the works right now, Nancy is still crocheting it together, and Bernie has started another one.

Leona continues to craft her usual items of beauty. Hats, mittens, scarves, socks. She is versatile.

We rely on donations from the communities we donate to. If you would like to make a donation, the location of our registered office is:

July 2024

Welcome to July. happy Canada Day or Kana'ta day, whichever you prefer. Only a few things going on. Last month we had our Father's Day draw. Winner of that was Kelinda Sloan. The 50/50 money board fundraiser is still under way.

Nancy and I collaborated on an afghan. I (Bernie) knit the squares and Nancy crochets a border around them, then crochets the blanket together.

Nancy also made one herself. All crocheted.

We have begun work on another. I'm still working on the squares. Chocolate brown, light brown, emerald green, baby blue, and tulip pink with a yellow edging. Should be ready in a few weeks.
