Mitered Square Child's Sweater
back
This was one of 'those' projects: I was so excited to do it. I got started. The colors just weren't coming together the way I had wanted. Then I got interupted for a different project, then another, then another. By the time I got back to it, it still didn't look any good to me. After a couple more interuptions, I just wanted to be done with it. I was tired of looking at it. So, because I got in a hurry, I made mistakes. Mistakes that probably only I know about, but still do not make me happy.
I sure was alot happier with the Mitered Square Sweater I did about a year ago!
I am really happy to be done with this one. I can't always say that about a project.
Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
Phil. 4:6

Busy at the spring work!!
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit,
but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

Peeking out.
It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill... But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached.

I made this hat using this pattern
http://www.knitting-and.com/knitting/patterns/washcloths/oddballwashcloths.htm
but I'm not real happy with it. So I'm not going to show you the back side!
But I love the pattern so I am going to try again!
We had rain, clouds, damp, chilly weather yesterday.
Just yukky!
I also pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened
in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you,

Images from the Maumee River.
It has been a very wet season.
For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world
to be holy and blameless in His sight.
In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ,
in accordance with His pleasure and will -
to the praise of His glorious grace,
which He has freely given us in the One He loves.
Eph. 1:4-7
