And, something special here folks. The two nice blue skeins of yarn were forwarded for our good friend Sherry K. Why do I consider this so special? We come to know one another here on the net, on this blog. We communicate via pictures of our work, with kind comments about each other's work. We share patterns and offer helpful advice to one another. That too me is such a plus. We all are here to help others, and I think it's special when we support and help each other. RoseMarie no doubt knew Sherry could use a little help with yarn and so...she rose up to not only help our homeless to help our friend Sherry as well. Kudos! At the time of writing this scheduled post, Sherry and I have our heads together to find a time when we'll get to meet face to face...something we're both pretty excited about.
