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.

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.
