Today’s item is a crocheted hanging plant with strawberries. I made one before but it was too long for the rearview mirror. This one is smaller. Design by Nghiem Khanh Ninh, but I made many modifications. Using acrylic yarn for the pot and cords and a 3 mm hook, I didn’t increase as much as…
https://bible.usccb.org/daily-bible-reading In today’s first reading, God tells Ezekiel how to live a virtuous life. These are by following the ten commandments, but also feeding and clothing the needy. Being kind, avoiding sin. The psalm today is my favorite, psalm 51. Contrite heart and spirit I desire. In the gospel, Jesus tells his disciples, let the…
Today’s toy is a crocheted bee. Design by @vocininha. Using Premier’s Just chenille and a 4,5 mm hook, this toy is bigger than the design. I like making small patterns with thicker yarn. I’m allergic to bees but this one is adorable.
https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/081624.cfm Today’s first readIng, God tells Ezekiel of Jerusalem’s fate. He compares Jerusalem to a woman. He takes care of her and forms a covenant that He does not forget. Even when the woman sins, He will forgive. In the gospel, the people ask Jesus about divorce. He says it is adultery to divorce and…
Today’s toy is a crocheted pig. Pattern by Lonemer Creations. Using Premier bloom chenille yarn and a 5 mm hook, this pig turned out super squishy. Still, no stuffing shows through. I always turn it into a no sew pattern by just surface crocheting a circle for the legs. I ran out of one of…
Mass during the Day https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/081524-Day.cfm Today’s first reading is a vision of a woman. Clothed with the sun and the moon at her feet, on her head a crown of twelve stars. We envision Mary being that woman. She is the mother of the son of God! In the second reading Paul talks of the…
Today’s toy is a crocheted frog. Design by Karina Nunez. The pattern said long legged, but I don’t agree. I made keychains with these little ones. Planning on using chunky yarn to make larger ones. Using acrylic yarn and a 3 mm hook, these are quick to make. They do look better with safety eyes….
https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/081424.cfm In the first reading, more imagery from Ezekiel talking about cherubim taking God out of the temple. He also said that on of the men he saw was ordered by God to mark the ones who hated idolatry with “tau” which is a cross, on the forehead. My commentary said this, For us Christians,…
Today’s toy is a crocheted butterfly. Design by Dilekshomestore. Using Bernat velvet and Just Chenille by Premier, it is so soft. The wings are floppy. Not the best yarn for a butterfly. I used a 3 mm hook. I changed up the colors on the wings.
https://bible.usccb.org/daily-bible-reading Today’s first reading is of God telling the prophet to eat the scroll. When Ezekiel eats it, it tastes sweet like honey. God then tells him to speak His words to them. In the gospel, Jesus makes two points. The first is who is the greatest? Unless you are humble like this child, you…
