I have been enjoying lots of knitting.
The vest on the left is the Shalom, and is for me! I used size 10 circular needles and Peace Fleece yarn.
The pattern for the little sweater vest on the right is one I adapted from the Knitter's Almanac by Elizabeth Zimmermann. I am looking forward to working up different versions of this top-down pattern in many sizes and some with sleeves as well. I need to sand the maple buttons Mike made for me and then sew them on.
I am reading through Cold Antler Farm and love Jenna's writing - her humor and passion is contagious. Keeping the dream alive!
My more intellectual reading is Creation of the Heart of Man. This is a study on the Orthodox Christian perspective on environmentalism. I am working on my own study of environmentalism and Christianity because my heart tells me that the two go hand and hand, so I am digging into what the Bible says about this topic and am reading viewpoints and thoughts from other authors.
Joining in today with Ginny.
Love both of your vests!
ReplyDeleteI made a shalom last year on 10's, with Peace Fleece in a grey - zarya fog, I believe it was. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I've loved mine! - Karis
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you agree that Christianity and Environmentalism (of a kind) go hand in hand, so few people seem to see it, yet to me it is so obvious .... bless you and do please write about your findings.
