Prayerful Stitches

Every stitch a prayer~

a dear and precious friend 

fighting for his life~

a wife who carries the weight

of worry and the unknown

on her shoulders~

~anxious hearts filled with prayers

for this dear husband, father, grandfather,

friend

comfort for my dear girlfriend

as she braves herself for her husband's

battle against this mighty

foe~

a bit of warmth against

the bitter winds of winter--

and worry~

no names spoken--

but 

God knows~

yarn details~

 Berroco Kodiak

~~

(I loved this yarn -- maybe as much or more than any yarn I have ever knitted with --but the downside to the yarn is that it is rather costly.

The yarn is discounted, however, when you order from

this website.)

~~

this yarn is light as a feather -- I used 8 skeins and when the wrap was finished

it was light as air -- but SO incredibly warm

~

if you have travel plans and need to pack lightly --

THIS is the yarn to travel with - 

it weighs NOTHING!

Knitting prayers of 

hope and comfort and faith

into every stitch~

hours and hours of quiet, contemplative knitting--

every second, every stitch

filled with prayers

 for our dear friend

and his family

"because he bends 

down to listen,

I will pray as long as I have

breath~"

Psalms 116:2

(new living translation)

   

my Mother's Bible

 is tattered and worn--

but the words inside are ever  

constant, strong and true~

your prayers for our dear, dear friend

are requested and so very 

appreciated~

my heartfelt gratitude to you all

who sent emails to me filled with appreciation for my 

recent Grow Your Blog party.

I received literally hundreds of emails, and

I just could not possibly answer them all.

Please do not feel slighted if I did not answer your email --

in most cases (when I am not so overwhelmed) I DO answer every single email

that I receive. 

~

Now that things have slowed down a bit --

if you wish me to email you regarding a concern or question --

please send me an email me again.

I promise to answer you.

~~

To those of  you who left comments and emails

asking to be added in after the party had started --

I am so sorry, but I just could not do that.

I spent hours and hours adding in blogs to meet the deadline --

over 600 blogs,

and at some point, I just had to be finished. 

I hope you understand.

~

Please watch my blog sometime in the late fall,

most likely October,

when I will start to talk about next year's party details.
