Jennie Is Knitting: The Power of a Shawl
http://jennieisknitting.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-power-of-shawl.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2015. The Power of a Shawl. Knitters have known this for a long time, and a knitted shawl is almost always received with joy and treasured for years. The more spiritually-minded knitters often call their creations "prayer shawls," a reference either to the fact that a handknitted shawl reminds the recipient that he or she is being prayed for, or to the fact that shawls have been worn since time immemorial by people in the act of prayer. 1 The Straightforward Triangular Shawl. All of ...

The Art of Living Fully. G’Day or Kali Mera. Crete is my new favorite place on the planet. I loved the beautiful beaches, tall rugged mountains, historic ruins from the last 4500 years ago (that is not a typo) and of course lots and lots of sunshine. And did I mention the fresh healthy food? And best of all friendly welcoming people! Truly a wonderful place in which I felt right at home. If you can’t find me at home, look for me on Crete (or perhaps Bondi Beach)! So while they say G’Day down under, they ...

Jennie Is Knitting: August 2014
http://jennieisknitting.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 31, 2014. Thank you for stopping by! I started by making socks for my children, who were small at the time. They loved their homemade socks and didn't much care whether they were perfect or not, or whether they matched, so they gave me tons of opportunities for practice. Now, everyone in my house wears adult-sized socks, but that hasn't cramped my style. Here are some pictures of my favorite creations:. Socks for my sister, made from self-patterning yarn. Fuzzy warm socks for myself. Http:...

Jennie Is Knitting: September 2014
http://jennieisknitting.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2014. Pine Tree Lace Baby Blanket. Because I had become a lace enthusiast, when Mother's Day rolled around, my husband purchased for me a copy of Barbara G. Walker's classic reference book, A Treasury of Knitting Patterns. I thumbed through the book with enthusiasm and nearly dropped it on the floor when I saw in the book the exact lace pattern that had been the basis of my white christening blanket. I settled on a pattern called "Pine Tree Lace." I added a seed-stitch border ar...

The Art of Living Fully. After getting a mammogram last week, I learned that I needed to have a repeat one done. These are not words that any woman wants to hear, much less one who is a cancer survivor. Once you have heard the dreaded cancer diagnosis, everything feels like borrowed time even those of us who are 30 years out. Is finally working for me. Some of my random thoughts as I was waiting to get in for my repeat mammogram were:. I thought about the odds and how both my mother and maternal aunt had...
