With every stitch, I observe my hands. They are hands that prepare.
That make better, and that wipe away tears. Hands that correct, that protect. Hands that serve. Hands that create. That praise. Hands that grasp, and also that let go. Hands that give. And that receive. Hands with promise. Hands with purpose.
Hands with life. Hands that love.
I finished Ivy's sweater yesterday and had enough yarn left over to make a little hat... the Children's Cotton Hat from the book Last Minute Knitted Gifts. I had never made such a tiny hat before and was glad I had a small enough circular needle! I can't wait for her to try this on!
Oh, and the button I decided on is one I actually fell in love with at the knitting shop. I have my Gram's large jar of buttons to go through and think her next sweater will include buttons from there.
