Movement in stillness.
Power in silence.

THANK-YOU all so much for your generosity!
My friend Jill,sent me this email today, after a visit with Morgan……..
"Because of timing this year (Morgan’s hospital stay earlier this month and her
journey into hospice care), Lisa didn’t get a chance to remind people about
Morgan’s tree. I somehow think it was meant to be this way. It has been a
faith renewing experience for all of us to see how kind and generous people are
who haven’t even ever met them or heard of them. It brought tears to Lisa’s
eyes when she was trying to express her surprise and gratitude at the
generosity of so many people. Please let your Cavalier and Fiber friends
know that they have really made a big difference in many ways."
It was my hope to fill little Morgan’s tree again for her and we are only 9 ornaments from reaching that goal……..whoo~hoo!!
it’s hard to follow that up with some knitting, but here goes :-)………..
Yesterday when I was trying to get semi caught up on my blog reading after the holidays, I read Wendy’s post on her dilema as to whether or not she should fix a small error on her gorgeous sweater. I tried to leave a response, but the comments had been closed.
Ooohh….I must have been tempting the karma fates! The comment that I was going to leave was how I allow for only one error in any knitting project. Sometimes it may be a big one that I can live with or a teeny one that no one else would notice. Since I had already left a big error that most people will never notice, I couldn’t leave the little one that I noticed when I picked up my knitting this morning……ugghh!
I may have been tempted to leave it, but after my imaginary comment, I was shamed, if even only in my own mind, into fixing it. In the past, I would have tinked back all of the rows that were beyond the error, but this time, I thought that I would take some of the knowledge that I have picked up along the way in blog land. Gulp………terror…………ouch! I ripped back only the stitches on that narrow cable line and started working my way back up again.
It’s not perfect……but it’s close enough to make me smile :-).
Now, I am praying that the blocking goddess is going to smile on me as well. Did I swatch before I started? Of course not……that is what patient people do…..
Once again………thank you all for your kindness and generosity for my little friend Morgan!

It looks like you’re making great progress on the vest. I love the color. I’m betting I’ll get to see it in person at SPA.

If only everything in life was as easy to fix as knitting mistakes. Good work, especially helping Morgan and her family.
