a month of Thankfulness

In a previous year, I posted our list of things on the Thanksgiving chain, and I enjoyed revisiting these as I typed them up.  So I decided to do it again.  Some items were written by guests and I don't know exactly what they mean, but they do, and God does.

The big ones are good - God, family, food.  The little ones keep life interesting, though, and I'm glad we have little things to be thankful for.  Today, I'm thankful for all these things and more, plus good books and my marriage.
What are you thankful for?

    I really love this idea!! We are never able to be together as a family for THanksgiving...so we've decided to celebrate my favorite holiday!!! when are together at the beach this summer. I think this will be the perfect idea to decorate our summer/beachy space and remind us that THanksgiving really is a 365 day holiday!

    And could you share with me your 121 for 2021 photo challenge list? I adored your 2020 group on flikr.

    What a great list -- and a cool, fun idea! I love the variety of your list. Family is always at the top of my list. Also, this week - snow (we finally have some and it's beautiful!) and a warm house in frigid temps. And I can never forget knitting and sewing! Happy February Sweet Karen!!!

reasons I knit

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.

modular knitting

On the plus side, modular knitting gives one interesting options for colorwork and color blocking.  Sometimes the dye process can give the yarn its own commentary, like this changing of scales. However, there are often many more ends to weave in.  This one is not too bad, but there's at least four ends on every row - 14 rows.  Still, interesting to try something new! Details on my Ravelry page , if you are interested!!  Have you tried modular knitting?  Thumbs up or down??

Spring Means Baseball!

I've had this idea for a knitting pattern in my head and it's finally come to fruition!  I am still polishing up the pattern, but here's a quick peak:  PS:  There's more than one size and this one is too big for me but it was the only one I had "stitched up."
