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~
~~
(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.
