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.

Oooh, yum! Apple Pie - and it looks amazing! Looks like you've been doing a LOT of knitting too -- Happy Merry Making!!!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks wonderful! Love this time of year!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, apple pie is really the best pie :) What are you making with the mittens? They look smaller than normal, are they for a small person or will it be a decoration?
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, Thanks for your comments! The mittens ARE small, they're about 2" wide by 4"; they're part of an advent calendar I've been working on for a few years.
