Today I show my bear. I designed it, mostly just experimenting. I am using that same yarn, charisma 10 ply Aran. I started with two icords and then knitted the body, decreased and then increased again for the head. I added the crocheted arms and ears. I used black yarn to cinch a nose on…
Such a great celebration today. I did write about this on Saturday since the gospel is the same, Mark 1:7-11. I am sure all were amazed to see the descent of the Holy Spirit and God saying, “You are my beloved Son; with You I am well pleased.” I am anticipating the day that I…
a very whimsical bunny by Sayjai Thawornsupacharoen. I used the same yarn I have been using, the Charisma 10 ply Aran. I put pipe cleaners into the ears, but didn’t stuff them. This pattern is for crochet, but I modified it for knitting. That’s why it is shorter. I need to knit more rounds next…
Today we celebrate the journey of the Magi to give homage and gifts to the new born king, Jesus. In the first reading of Isaiah 60:1-6, he says to Rise Up! Reminding me of the new song by Lauren Daigle. He also says to “Proclaim the praises of the Lord”. There’s my word of the…
Today, I crocheted the Northern Cardinal Keychain, by Suzanne Boulet. I use Paton’s chunky, scraps I had. Love the bright red color and stitch definition. I like that the beak and tail are crocheted on and not separate pieces. Love the simple but beautiful wings. I added the feet, just ch 7, slip in second…
I always think of January 6th as Epiphany but this year it is January 7th. I will wait until tomorrow. Today’s readings focus on my word of the year, “proclaim”. In 1Jn, God is proclaiming about His Son, that he gave us eternal life through the Son. It also states that those who believe in…
Today’s pattern is Octopus Comforter by Donna Wilkins. I used this variegated yarn that I have had for about 20 years. I have made many things with the yarn and have ripped out every one of them because I just didn’t like it. I love the colors in the skein, but I do not like…
I know a little of this saint since when I was a child, living at home, my mom took classes at Neumann center in Ft. Worth. What a blessing to be a saint! In the gospel, Jesus says to Nathaniel, “you will see the sky opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on…
Today’s toy is the whale from The Copper Crochet Pot. It is a free download on Ravelry. Simple in its construction making the fins first. I like the eye detail. I just added black yarn for the eyes since this toy will be donated. Today I used a light box to take the picture. It…
Joy for the recognized saint today! I wish she was on my birthday, the 11th. First saint of the US. I visited her shrine and school in Maryland. Wonderful history and works she did. Today’s first reading says that the one who sins belongs to the devil! What a frightening thought. Other bible translations say…
