My dear readers, this week reach out to the "hers" and "hims" that God shows you with compassion and Christ's love.
Sunday Slow Stitching
Work continues on
Maria's Spring Flower Granny Square CAL from Maria's Blue Crayon) My bouquet continues to grow and grow....I saved yellow for last.
So pretty!
One Year of Stitches.
This week, not a lot of stitching was happening. My poor husband was sick and though he's an easy patient, somehow crafting took a back seat to him. My #1yearofstitches looks about the same. You can follow my daily progress on my Instagram account.
Did you notice the painting in the back of a Native American warrior? He is my reminder to pray for an extremely special young man in my life who is battling emotionally and spiritually.
Stash Report
Another visit to my local yarn shop that is closing this month yielded more yarn and even some knitting needles. Yes, I'm trying to relearn how to knit. A friend at my Bee is patiently teaching me. Thank God for the patience of good friends!
I picked up two 17 oz. bags of scrap yarn to make a "Cockeyed Knit Shawl" by Margie Giralte. Apparently you combine all of these yarns in any fashion to make the shawl.
This skein from Silver Fox that was in my stash will be included as well.
I'll be making a "cockeyed shawl", but will be crocheting it. Based on the various yarns, it will be pretty and funky - just my style!
Here's the 1.5 yard of fabric I added to my stash. I find the varying values interesting....

I honestly don't mind
being in the red with yarn
as I'm adding quality yarns
at a great savings.
Sadly, it's at the cost
of a fabulous brick and mortar
yarn shop closing.

local crafts shops!
