Update on the XS.
I will try to give weekly updates on this project.
Just because that will help keep me motivated to work
on it! It has been put to the side the last three
days. But I just HAD to do some knitting!!
Time to get busy on this again!
Therefore, we do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

Mitered Square Afghan.
Most of it is worked with 1 strand of Bernat Softee
in white and 1 strand Lang Yarns Bebe Color Superwash.
Finished size is 36X36.
This started out as my 'grab & go' project nearly 2 yrs ago.
I finally decided that it just needed to be finished and a new
project started for my 'ready to go' bag!
Now the Lord is the Spirit,
and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is freedom.

My daughter brought this to me yesterday.
She has knitted this wonderful basketweave piece,
and asked me to do something with it to make
it large enough for a baby blanket.
Of course I said I'd love to!
But it will have to be put on hold for just a little
while until I finish my own current projects!
But I have some great ideas of what to do
with it!
When we are judged by the Lord,
we are being disciplined
so that we will not be condemned with the world.
1 Cor. 11:32

This is the progress I have made so far on the
counted cross stitch project that I have been asked to do.
For those of you who check my blog regularly for charity knitting,
I may not have a daily hat to show for a little while.
I have a commitment to do this XS picture.
I also have a knitted child's afghan (for charity) on the needles
that I am working on. So for the time being, 'large' projects
are taking up my time instead of so many 'smaller' items!
Nobody should seek his own good,
but the good of others.
1 Cor. 10:24

My daughter and I have finished our Central Park Hoodies!!
I am so very proud of her! She just learned to knit last summer
and this is her first sweater! She did an amazing job! I have admired this
pattern for a quite a while and was thrilled when she asked me to do
it with her!
Her's is worked with RedHeart Fiesta and mine is worked with
RedHeart SuperSaver.
We started these sweaters months ago, but we both kept getting
side-tracked with our charity knitting projects!
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-
His good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2

The requested baby set is finished!
This set is exactly like the one I did a couple months ago:
logcabin style blanket-36X38, a raglan, top-down sweater,
a hat and a pair of booties.
This set was worked with RedHeart Super Saver
in Baby Print.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
as you trust in Him,
so that you may overflow
with hope by the power or the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13

This beautiful, tiny little flower is an invasive weed.
I hate to say it stinks, but it does have it's own odor!
hat worked on the loom.
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law,
but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
Therefore, there is now now condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus,
because through Christ Jesus
the law of the Spirit
of life set me free
from the law of sin and death.
Romans 7:25-8:2
