It is Sunday once again...a time for me to pause and reflect. Some weeks it may seem like a small thing and other weeks it may be a biggie. But big or small ... i am thankful.
Next to photography, knitting is my love. I think it is the repetition of the needles and the soft texture of the delicious yarns that have me head over heels in love. If i am having a stressful day...i do not need that glass of wine or a little white happy pill. Just give me a ball of yarn and two wooden needles and i am swept away to my happy place.
Tomorrow i am honoured to me invited to my dear friend's granddaughter's baptism. Yikes...how did i ever get this old? So many of my friends are grandma's now... sigh...so wonderful. I think that being a grandparent must be the happiest job on earth...such sweet little darlings...sigh
For the last three months i have been knitting this blanket as a gift to the baby. It is made from yarn from this baby alpaca...so soft and dreamy. I struggled at first having to learn several new stitches. But once i mastered them, i just loved making it...i hope the new parents will love it too!
For my love of knitting...i am so grateful.
Until next time...

ReplyDeleteYou are so talented ....Lovely post Nancy
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful to give away your gifts....;-)
ReplyDeleteI loved this post, Nancy! I am also so thankful for all the interests and talents God gave me...there's no way I could ever be bored...and all the better if I can use things to benefit others! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThe feel of the yarn in your hands and fingers must be so pleasurable. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo. I am sure that the blanket will be treasured. I received a handmade afghan on our wedding day 26 years ago from a long time family friend and I still treasure that so much.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Nancy Jean. I love to knit too. Just picked up some soft and cuddly baby yarn to make a few baby hats to donate.
ReplyDeleteThe blanket looks beautiful - love the pattern. I tried knitting for a while, but always pulled the yarn too tight!
