“Knitters should practice our knitting with more dedication than we practice anything else. For Knitters, practicing our faith should be the number-one priority in our lives.” (Kevin Watson, A Blueprint for Discipleship, pg 62) He didn’t really say that. He was talking about Christian Faith. I have found a way to weave my passion for knitting with my commitment [...]

The first of John Wesley’s General Rules: Do No Harm. What do I think of that? I have friends who are parents of 2 kids, now young adults.

There is a tough truth in knitting – if you want something to fit then you have to get gauge. Gauge is the number of stitches and rows per inch that you get when you use your combination of yarn and needles.

“What might a supportive and nurturing environment for growing in faith look like for you? ” is the question of the day. Muse, Yarn and Arts. That’s one of the most supportive and creative places for my personal, spiritual growth. From the outside, Yarn Shop. From the inside? A place to play with color and [...]
