Easter/Bright Week Baby Blanket

A while back I finished
the Easter & Bright Week Baby Blanket.
Here are some pictures when it was done but
ends not woven in yet.

Each knitted item,
one of my friends reminded me,
is unique.

This one has lots of green.

I enjoyed knitting it with the happy
anticipation of a baby girl being born and having it.

I gave it to the mother before
the baby was born...

A baby's birth I always find to be a real
act of faith and of hope.

It was a joy to knit because of
the happiness I felt for the parents.

 

I love making things to give to others!

Mr. Husband and I went on a long road trip
this long weekend
and I got lots of knitting done!

 

I just have to weave in the ends and it will be 100% done!
Am really pleased with it.

I finished reading Everyday Saints - just loved it!
I am still reading it out loud to Mr. Husband...
it was such an enjoyable read that
I am looking forward to going through it slowly
over the next months.
Reading aloud is such a wonderful past time! :)

I also got some other knitting projects on the go
and look forward to sharing them
on the Wednesday yarn alongs with Ginny!

Bright Week ~ Bright Baby Blanket and Everyday Saints

Christ is Risen!
Mr. Husband and I are loving Bright Week
after our Easter (Pascha) Day!

During Holy Week and Pascha 
I've been working on this
cute baby blanket ~ for a girl this time.

I am calling it my
Easter Baby Blanket
as it was started during Holy Week.

Mr. Husband got me this book for my Pascha present!
Everyday Saints and Other Stories 

 

It won a prodigious literary award in Russia.
Many of my friends have read it and LOVE it!
It is very readable, humorous and gives such light and
hope to one as one reads...
I can understand why so many of my friends said
they could not put it down
and were sad when they were finished reading it.
It's a wonderful Easter gift!

Mr. Husband and I are reading it out loud to each other,
bit by bit.
I am also reading it separately as I love it that much!
