I LOVE KNITTING!! Just wanted to share the passion. Just wanted to open a window into the amazingly wonderful world that is knitting. For starters, knitting comforts a whole lot better than food. I've come to embrace this! (My trainer is very pleased! Not to mention I did knit him a very cool hat) I would put it on par or better even than chocolate. Wait, did I just say that?!? Let's rephrase. Definitely on par with but not better than. Whew, what a braincramp.
Seriously, though, just the feel of the yarn in my hands makes all the "baddies" go away. "Saddies" too. I can fill an afternoon of just blissfully "organizing" my stash. That entails sitting on the floor surrrounded by the overflowing bins of fabulousity. The colors are hypnotic. The textures: soft and softer. I can squeeze the skeins and hanks with all the gusto of Mr. Whipple and his Charmin. And while my senses are dazzled, my mind twirls with the possibilities like a ballroom dancer expertly performing the perfect waltz. "This would be soooo great as a scarf. No, socks. SCORE!! Enough for socks AND a scarf. Or a scarf AND a hat..." When my sensory binge needs a moment to settle before the second, third or fourth courses I peruse my pattern books. I turn each page with care, drinking in the details of the photos. I'm impresses by the brainwork it took to design such amazing things. What a gift from God to be able to design an Aran sweater or a lacy shawl!! Such creativity!! Such masterpieces!!
F.Y.I. Knitting is biblical. It's true. God knits. He knit us together in our mother's wombs (see Psalm 139). He knits hearts together: marriages, friendships, families. Scarlet wool is included in the offerings listed in
Numbers 19. (I learned that at Bible Study Fellowship.)
Now, if you'll excuse me. I've gotta go....KNIT!!
