Two things I am thankful for on this frosty evening: flowers and friends. Would you please stop by and tell my friend Candace "Happy Birthday!"?
I haven't posted a lot of knitting on here in the last few years. Not much to say about it but I still knit. I knit because I love to create. I knit because I love sweaters. I knit because I grew up with a mom who is artistic beyond the acknowledgement she receives, and it's in my blood to do something creative. I knit because I love the good things God grows, like sheep and wool and muskox and cotton. I knit because I love colors. I knit because my boys wear what I knit. I knit because I like the rhythm. I knit because it has a beginning and an end, and they are achievable. I knit because when my hands are busy, my mouth slows down, and it gives my brain a chance to make better decisions. I knit because I'm really, really good at it, and it's one of the few things that others acknowledge, and we all need that. I knit because I love to knit. I'm working on a colorful shawl in alpaca.
Yes, happy birthday, Candace! Beautiful iris.... as I'm watching the snow fall.... nice reminder of spring flowers ahead!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Candace! The iris is beautiful! I can't wait for spring.:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen, you are a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Happy Birthday Candace! Finally, I can catch up with you a bit. I could so relate to your post about having no style -- that's the way I feel -- I love all styles (well, except maybe for a few) and when you walk into my house it doesn't scream any one thing. I love your little skein keepers -- that candy fabric is one of my all time favorites!
