In Case You Missed It-

Yesterday was Cop on a Rooftop day.

Cops sit atop Dunkin Donuts rooftops  around Illinois and raise funds for Special Olympics.  

I gave my ten bucks for a great cause.
I got a new coffee travel cup which I really needed. 
Children with Down's Syndrome have a very special place in this nurse's heart.   They are angels on this Earth. 

As for knitting, I'm still working on Trap.
Anyone have an easy trick for keeping the two skeins from tangling?  I think I saw a shoebox device once…..

Happy Summer Saturday.

What a sweet way to raise funds! My Dave is a music teacher and he teaches many students with special needs - quite a few have down syndrome and they just love the music.

As a special education teacher, I love that fund-raiser!

No, I have no idea of how to keep skeins from tangling.

What a great idea for a fund raiser. I've never found a way to keep yarns from tangling that worked for me. I just keep one ball on each side of me as I knit and untangle when needed.The secret is in how you turn your work but I can never remember which way to go.

I love it. Special Olympics holds a special place in my heart too.

I want to hear what your wise knitting readers say about the tangled two balls of yarn, please and thank you?

Wat a great cause, children with Down's Syndrome have a very special place in this therapist's heart, too.

Those cops are some good guys. What a great cause.

I used to know how to keep the skeins from tangling but can't for the life of me remember.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
