Joining Ginny for Yarn Along
~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on your blog or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us! ~
Hello All. Thanks for visiting. Nothing exciting or new this week, which for me, is comforting. Still knitting on my Hyla. Tinking back occasionally. I am reading the same book- True Sisters by Sandra Dallas . I believe I am finding solace with my needles and wool. Nothing earth shattering(thankfully everyone is health) just a dark period full of worry and misunderstandings and heartache.This, too, shall pass.

I am sorry to hear there is heartache in your world and pray things looks better soon.
ReplyDeleteI find knitting soothing too. I pray that your troubles are over soon x
ReplyDeleteKnitting as medicine...yes, definitely. The shawl is looking lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe EZ quote is great. I'm sorry your spirit is troubled though. The shawl is lovely. Fabulous color!
ReplyDeleteChin up, Katrina. This too shall pass.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear that you're a bit down, but knitting and support will get you back up. Lovely shawl pattern and I look forward to seeing it finished.
ReplyDelete"This too shall pass" has been my life saver these last couple of days. It will indeed pass and hopefully we learn something when we get to the other side of it. Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteHoping the light shines through your window soon. The Hyla looks lovely :)
ReplyDeleteThere is so much comfort to be found in knitting - I love the Elizabeth Zimmerman quote.
ReplyDeleteI hope things improve for you soon and that in the mean time your knitting goes well x
Knitting does help. Sorry to hear about your worrying time. I have to remind myself when I enter into my anxious/worried state (which unfortunately is a constant struggle) that God is trustworthy and good and desires to mold me into the person that He wants, teaching me patience and enduring trials. Of course, I don't like those trials, but...
ReplyDeleteYour shawl looks wonderful! And yay for a better week!
Oh, sometimes misunderstandings are so hard. Hope you will be on an upswing soon.
ReplyDeleteI agree that crafting can be quite soothing, and I understand the cloudiness and misunderstanding thing really well right now. Prayers for you and hoping that things get better.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the quote! I am a chronic worrier and I do so hope that whatever is on your mind gets resolved to your satisfaction (thank goodness it's not about health)-thinking of you-keep knitting!
ReplyDeletehoping things will get better soon. and hoping the knitting helps, your shawl is lovely. sending hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteGlad the knitting helps with whatever has got you down. Your shawl is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSorry it has been a bit dark for you. I firmly believe EZ's advice. I am glad the wool is providing solace.
