This is Mom, giving you the last of my 3 posts for this “12 Days of Christmas” series. I have a very special friend who is going through a tough time right now….her 18-year old son is really sick with Crohns and eventually had to go into the hospital on Christmas Day! After 5 days … More Nine Blues and Browns A-Praying
Happy New Year everyone, and Happy Feast of the Holy Name! (Formerly known, in less inhibited times, as the Feast of the Circumcision. Guess what happened on the eighth day of our Savior’s life.) It may be the new year for everyone on the Gregorian calendar, but for us on the liturgical calendar, we’re still … More Eight Snowy Boughs
One of the random cool things about being in school is the odd creative project I am asked to do. Last semester, in the sort of flagship baptism-by-fire Biblical Languages and Interpretation class, our final project was to read the book The Drama of Scripture by Michael W. Goheen and Craig G. Bartholomew, then creatively … More Seven Spiritual Squares
On the sixth day of Christmas, I present to you a rather unique commission. A very nice lady, whose name is also Rebecca, and who also attends classes at Trinity has a lovely habit of commissioning one local artist every year to make ornaments for her family members. I jumped at the opportunity in the … More Six Cozied Spheres
Mom again today! ~Reb When I first saw the “Scribbling Stoles” on pp. 112-115 of the book Mason Dixon Knitting, I wasn’t impressed. But the more I thought about the idea of knitting with thick-thin yarn on giant needles, the more I liked it! I had a pair of size 35 needles……could I design a … More Five Jeweled Purples
On this day, which happens also to be Jared’s & my 2nd-and-a-half anniversary, I will tell you about a risky proposition I made. I’d previously made three pairs of French Press Felted Slippers, but they were all for either my feet or someone with feet more or less the same size as mine. This year … More Four Felted Slippers
Today’s contribution is from Linda (a.k.a. Mom)! ~Rebecca This sweater for my mom was the biggest project I started and actually finished this year. I began in May, and finished in early December. This was made with 2 strands of Rebecca’s blue Second Chance lace yarn, and 1 strand of Rebecca’s blue and brown sock … More Three Yarns A-Slip-Stitching
These two baby sweaters more or less explain themselves – Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Baby Surprise Jackets, knitted in my very own Second Chance Worsted. (If you’re curious, it took about 300 yards of each color to do both jackets.) They are the medium size, in worsted weight, so they’re rather big for newborn twins. But they … More Two Baby Surprises
Merry Christmas to all! Huzzah and hooray! Today is Christmas which means that by the time you get around to reading this, all the bazillion knitted things I’ve been knitting and not showing you have gone out to their respective recipients, and you get visual proof that I haven’t secretly developed a wool allergy. I … More And a Fuzzy Pair of Fingerless Mitts
This has been one heck of a year. Whenever I stop to think about it, I just have to shake my head. Now that it’s almost over, and I have a fine collection of minutes put together in which to breathe and think, I’m almost afraid to reflect on everything that’s happened. I’ve knitted something … More The Same Yesterday, Today, and Forever
