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.
Ogosh! I hope everyone is okay!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that their home was spared!
ReplyDeleteWow -- that's WAY too close for comfort. I've been seeing pictures from the Colorado Springs fire -- what an awful summer this year!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with your family and the community. So sad to see the pictures and the devastation. Glad your Dad is ok.
ReplyDeleteWow! That was CLOSE! Must have been really scary.
ReplyDeleteGlad that their home is ok. x
ReplyDeleteThat was so close! I'm really glad they're ok and their house was spared.
ReplyDeleteThe firefighters did such a wonderful job protecting homes. When those dry winds picked up it was dicey. So glad they are safe. Thank you for sharing the pictures.
