The Knitting Bug

We had a great first discussion from our book study (Debbie Macomber’s Knit Together). Debbie showed us how our passion is not necessarily our purpose in life. Example would be having a passion for singing yet not being able to stay in tune = not being a professional singer. This made me think of my passion for knitting. Anyone who knows me knows I love to knit - so knitting is one of my passions. However, after doing the small exercise in Chapter One I was able to flush out how I can use knitting as a means of getting together with other people for deep and authentic relationships. This can result in an “iron sharpening iron” experience as we share our lives, our faith and yes, our knitting projects together. So I would use my passion as a conduit for my purpose! Neat ! !

We welcomed Nancy to our group at our last meeting. That means we are up to 9.5 people. How do we have 9.5 people, you ask? Well, Sandi works during our meeting time and but pops in and out with her knitting projects. Linda, Nancy and Sandi are missing from the photo so next time we are all together we’ll have another photo session.

Meanwhile, I am working away on a Debbie Bliss jacket for my new nephew who is due to enter our world in April way down under in Sydney. I have been frustrated with the pattern as it is full of errata. I knew I was in trouble when I got to row 2. Thankfully, with the help of the internet I could get the corrections and am know ready to start the sleeves. I’m loving making this despite the rough start.
