My Thursdays – as of late
– have been full of Meg’s Daily Grind and knitting with the girls. I’ve gotten quite a bit done in those
evenings. I like it that the time is
set-aside. It’s marked on my calendar
and I don’t schedule things on Thursday nights.
We are going to continue this in to 2015…and change up our “theme” –
instead of a Christmas focus, we are going to knit items to donate…which makes
my little heart go pitter-patter…so many cute baby hats for the area crisis
pregnancy center. Lions and tigers and
bears – oh my!
Speaking of baby hats…I
already have my first skein for a newborn bear hat. It’s a soft brown – almost a tan. It’s thick and should be a quick knit.
The beauty of knitting for
the pregnancy center is the hours that I knit can be spent praying for the
recipient...which best explains why I love to knit for others.
I do need to set aside the
needles, however, and work on my brother’s Christmas present. If you promise to keep a secret, I will let
you know – it’s a fleece blanket. The
fabric is totally going to get me the award Sister of the Year and since I am
not converting to Catholicism…I’m going all out with this gift. Infact, when I searched the JoAnn’s database,
I only found this fabric at their Janesville
facility. Within an 80 mile radius, only
Janesville had
the material in stock. One Wednesday
night inbetween clocking out of work and Bible study, I ran up to Janesville and purchased
the beloved fabric. The clerk, bless her
heart, even let me use an extra coupon…thus saving me quite a chunk of change.
