I am pretty much done with section 2
of the blue checkered blanket!
I will need to double check to be sure
they are the same length but I am quite happy with the
progress made!
As mentioned before, the rows will actually be
inverted from what you see as I do not intend on having
the two dark blue squares next to each other. :)
I did most of the knitting on the trip to and back
from the monastery where I went with two
sisters who live in this area.
I also finished and started another wash cloth;
always handy to have on hand!
I have begun re-reading this gentle
I forgot how beautifully written and with so much love,
this book is.
Here's a quotation I quoted the other day from it:
The process of healing takes a long time. Even as we see
reasons for hope, we simultaneously gain better understanding
of how far down the roots of sin can go. It would be devastating to see the
whole truth about ourselves all at once.
Our compassionate Lord brings us along gently, allowing
some blissful ignorance. Each layer of the onion is shed at the right time;
we encounter the next truth about ourselves when and how we
can bear it, as our loving Lord knows best. "I have many
things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now." (Jn. 16:12)."
Next week for us who are Orthodox
is Holy Week.
For all those on the Western Calendar, blessed
rest of Holy Week and Easter to you!
