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.

I'm sure your Father felt the love yesterday and everyday, Karen! He sounds like a very special dad! I'm glad their house hasn't burned and sad for everyone else's that has. Hopefully the fire can get some containment soon!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Rain! We need Rain! I hope your parents will stay safe. And now, are you going to show us your shawl??? ;-D
ReplyDeleteI hope your parents are staying safe and they contain the fire soon! It's so sad how much damage has happened :(
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing your shawl!
Just checking in and praying your parents and their home are alright.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! Your parents house is okay, right? Hoping the fire kept it's distance!
ReplyDeleteOn a brighter note, do we get to see your finished shawl? I just started one this evening. Designing as I go! ;)
