And whenever I sit and knit, the prayer flow, and thoughts unwind. I love it. :o) Looking forward to seeing what you knit this year.

I too, love your daughter's expression. <br /><br />Just a note~I have been making Those Mitts (also by A Friend to Knit With~WHAT would we do without Leslie's love and joy???) for all my kids. For girls, I cast on 36 instead of the 40 and it is just SOOOOO much easier than having to pick up for the thumb! I have probably made 7-10 pairs of them! <br /><br />I have really been enjoying your site. As a fellow Believer, homeschooler, gardener, reader, knitter and homemaker, I find so much in common with you~even the way you decorate your home!

My very favy one is the shawl. I'm currently knitting a colourful wrap-around sweater for my soon-to-be-teenage daughter in a very similar colourway. You're so right about how soothing it is, and about the prayers that go into one's knitting.<br />(Hilarious quote, Firefly!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128498700399100940.post-22957998570725581842011-01-07T13:49:44.287-05:002011-01-07T13:49:44.287-05:00Gorgeous Shawl!

The mittens and slippers are great too, what wonderful gifts!!<br /><br />If you don't want the cookie monster look of the slippers you can always just take a pair of scissors (or electric hair raiser- I've done it) and trim off all the fuzzies for a cleaner look. But that's up to your son, I'm sure he loves the cookie monster look :) I love that you gave them to him unfelted and then felted them together, very sweet!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00227138410417031980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128498700399100940.post-36868041328342705542011-01-07T12:17:49.750-05:002011-01-07T12:17:49.750-05:00Beautiful knitting and beautiful daughter!
And I...Beautiful knitting and beautiful daughter! <br />And I'm right with you on the therapy part of knitting. There's a scene in "The Secret of Moonacre" where the young heroine and her governess are in danger, and the governess says, "Maria, there's only one thing that can save us now -- classical French needlepoint!". Then, they both whip out their needlework and begin to frantically stitch away -- love that! So you see, we're not the only ones ;).<br />Blessings,<br />GGigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14709314864693421679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128498700399100940.post-34981868175105899952011-01-07T11:44:03.367-05:002011-01-07T11:44:03.367-05:00LOVE that I can share this knitting journey with Y...LOVE that I can share this knitting journey with YOU! these projects are beautiful (and handsome)! doesn't maggie's expression make all the time and secret knitting worth it? that's how I felt on the inside when I opened my gift!!Kristyn Knitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00023484055988696554noreply@blogger.com
