Loom boards.
The blanket board was made by my grandfather
more than 60 yrs ago. He made several blankets
on it while he was very sick and in the hospital.
The scarf board was made by my uncle. I don't know
how old it is, but I do know it's been around
as long as I have!
The same uncle made me my very own loom board
that is 2 ft. long a few years ago. He also made
me a circle one for hats.
Shelter from the rain
in the feeder!
As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.
Ps. 103:13

Crocheted scarf
using Dazzle Ombre in
Dazzling Oranges
from Caron Yarn.
Looks like we are in for another rainy afternoon.
Hope to get plenty of knitting in while
watching the race!
A big pot of chili for supper sounds amazing!!
I will praise You, O Lord my God,
with all my heart;
I will glorify Your name forever.
For great is Your love toward me;
You have delivered my soul from the depths of the grave.
Ps. 86:12-13

Another knit hoodie from the book
Knit Hoodies for Kids
by Jeannine C. LaRoche
(I am really loving this book!)
This time I used RedHeart Strata yarn
in Crayon colorway.
It took slightly less than 2 skeins!
Inside a tulip.
It is a rainy, dreary day here.
Needed some bright, cheery color!
I hope to spend the day knitting!
A perfect day to curl up in my chair with my needles
and some kind of sports on the tv!
I have pattern and yarn ready to start
a couple more sweaters and a scarf!
Salvation is found in no one else,
for there is no other name under heaven given to men
by which we must be saved.
Acts 4:12

Pattern from
Knit Hoodies from Kids

using RedHeart SuperSaver

Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized,
everyone of you,
in the name of Jesus Christ
so that your sins may be forgiven.
And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The promise is for you
and your children
and for all who are far off-
for all whom the Lord our God will call."
Acts 2:38-39

Some of my current WIP's
I also have hats and an afghan OTN's.
And of course, another scarf and another sweater
with yarn and pattern ready to go!
Jesus came to give us an endless supply of life-
"...that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." (Eph.3:19)
Eternal life has nothing to do with time.
It is the life which Jesus lived when He was down here,
and the only Source of life is the Lord Jesus Christ.
