I don't have my camera!
And, yes, I am already having withdrawls!
I have knitting to show, but no way to do it!
I will have it back later today.

You knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

and on earth peace to men
on whom his favor rests."
