Quitting Time

....if you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent, then you will lift up your face without shame; you will stand firm and without fear. Job 11:14-15

I have recently heard a new term: Knit to Quit.  (before you crocheters hit the 'close' button, the term as I heard it is 'knit to quit' but 'crochet to quit' is just as effective)

I first heard the term from my mother who had just read the book "Summer on Blossom Street" by Debbie Macomber.

I quickly did a google search and found several references to the phrase "Knit to Quit"  including a website by that name.

I learned to knit and to crochet as a child, but as I got older and into business and technology  I set the yarn aside.  I picked it back up when I started suffering chronic back pain.  I knit to change my focus, to help me quit thinking about the pain.  I have heard others say that as long as their hands are busy with yarn they don't eat mindlessly. Many people have found benefits aside from yarn stashing and handmade clothing.

I am currently reading   (read the rest of the story)

 Thank you for your prayers

I had surgery on my back last month and have been spending much of my time resting in God's arms with yarn projects in my hands. Thank you to all who have emailed, called, sent cards, helped with meals, etc. during this time. Words cannot express how grateful I am to each of you.   I heart is encouraged,knit with each of you in love.
 
Planning for Fall Bible Studies   

It's easy to host a Knit and Crochet Bible Study. Books 1 and 2 are available for purchase and immediate download of pdf file. It is very economical as you purchase 1 copy (both books are available for $37). You have copyright permission to make as many copies as needed for your local group. So you can now use it for this fall and again next fall! 

If you host a study, I'd love it if you shared it on facebook
