I have an addiction, one that consumes my free time and occupies my thoughts, and it is in Mom’s blood too. We are filled with the desire to do and we can not seem to get it out of our minds. We want to do it in church, in the grocery stores, and anywhere we go.

Knitting

That is what we are grasped with the desire to do. A project must be going at all times and we must have one ready for when we are done with the present one. A shawl, hat, scarf, fingerless gloves, or washcloths. We must have something going on. If not, we feel idle. That, or we are having knitting withdrawals, which are very REAL!

My latest project was a simple shawl. I cut a dishcloth pattern in half, with just an increase. It was an easy work, which allowed me to listen during school (we usually discuss passionately who will read and who will get to knit) or during our evening Bible reading. I also needed a shawl that would go with my birthday dress, which you will see in the pictures.

It was late in the evening and I had just finished it. I have that look on my face “It’s done, take my picture so it will be finished”
