I haven't posted a lot of knitting on here in the last few years. Not much to say about it but I still knit. I knit because I love to create. I knit because I love sweaters. I knit because I grew up with a mom who is artistic beyond the acknowledgement she receives, and it's in my blood to do something creative. I knit because I love the good things God grows, like sheep and wool and muskox and cotton. I knit because I love colors. I knit because my boys wear what I knit. I knit because I like the rhythm. I knit because it has a beginning and an end, and they are achievable. I knit because when my hands are busy, my mouth slows down, and it gives my brain a chance to make better decisions. I knit because I'm really, really good at it, and it's one of the few things that others acknowledge, and we all need that. I knit because I love to knit. I'm working on a colorful shawl in alpaca.

Wow! Look at all that snow! Some people get all the luck!
ReplyDeletewow, i heard about your snow storm on NPR this morning. Enjoy you extra playtime with your guys. LOVE your "baseball mitt" - you are so clever. Sometimes i feel as if we're all rehashing the same patterns but this is truly unique - and super cool!
ReplyDeleteWe had a snow day, too. I didn't get much accomplished, but I did have a wonderful time holding our little girl. I can't even stay up late enough for Lost nowadays; i have to tape it and watch it later in the week.
ReplyDeleteBlimey! To think that spring should be on its way! Looks like winter isn't quite done!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful picture :) I wish I got to stay home, but sadly I had to go to work that day. At least I got to go in a couple hours late!
