Knit Together

Well, friends, I have started this blog-year pretty slowly. I've been a little sick since New Year's Eve, so I've taken everything a little slower, and I'm keeping to myself a little more than usual. But, rest assured that I am still knitting!

I've recently finished a baby blanket for a friend's foster child, and it's a pattern that I've wanted to try for some time: 10 Stitch Blanket I'm pretty sure most people use a lighter yarn for this pattern, but I needed this one done quick! I used two wheels of Lion Brand Mandela. 

Overall, I really like how it turned out! The thing I love the most is how each piece of the blanket looks the same and a little different. That's the beauty of this one, designed for variegated and gradient yarns, knit all together in one piece! This is my favorite corner:

I'll never be able to recreate this blanket, it is unique, just like each little angel that I've ever knit for. It has been made on purpose and with a plan, the same as every person I've ever known, I hope it serves as a reminder of God's love for this little one as he grows.

What kinds of things remind you of God's love? Even though the world we live in can be unpredictable, harsh and difficult, God's love is constant, fierce and perfect...and there are beautiful reminders all around us. Keep your eyes, ears and heart open, and let me know where you find it.

Until next time, I'll be over here on my sofa, recovering and knitting amd taking things slow. 

Thanks for stopping by, and Knit in Good Health!

From Psalm 139:13-14

For you created my inmost being;

    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

    your works are wonderful,

    I know that full well.
