Healing and Knitting
An alternate title to this post could be: What I Forgot That I Knew Sometimes that's the way of it...I forget things that I've known so well. Knitting reminds me that things take time. And this week in particular, I've been reminded that healing takes time. Healing of any kind takes lots of time. Major … Continue reading Healing and Knitting
Adventure Shawl
Millicent loves this shawl! I can't say I blame her. I started it before the recent "knitting adventure." Packed it for the travels. You see it there at #2. Macy is standing on the lime green for the ruffle. I did not get that far while in hospital. But I actually felt well enough to … Continue reading Adventure Shawl
Dreaming in Yarn

This kind of adventure … Continue reading Adventure

I'll be sharing just a few … Continue reading Knitting Under the Radar

The idea for my crocheted shawl came while I was … Continue reading The Cherry Grove Shawlette

Resurrection Shawl
When I received the diagnosis that I had Ulcerative Colitis, and the medicines that were intended to put it into remission, I had such hope of recovery! I wanted to make something through the recovery period that would be a part of my healing and then represent God's faithfulness to me as I wrapped it … Continue reading Resurrection Shawl
