The Eighth Day

We are living in this eighth day eternal world. We are always in the eighth day.


When we go to the Liturgy we are in eternity (and) heaven is on earth.


We’re already now with the Resurrected One. His eternity is present among us. His eternal life has broken into our world of time and is present and active among us.

Shamrock for the "Green is the Color" Group on Ravelry

This is an excerpt of Pagoda Pattern in BW3, p.172.
Step1--make three leaves as follows
CO 17st
Row 1: purl
Row 2: ssk, k2, (yo, ssk) twice, k1, (k2tog, yo) twice, k2, k2tog
Rows 3, 5, 7: p2tog, p across, end p2tog-b
Row 4: ssk, k1, (yo, ssk, yo), sl1-k2tog-psso, (k2tog, yo, k2tog), k1, k2tog
Row6: ssk, k2, yo, ssk, k1, k2tog
after Row 7, 5st rm on each leaf.

Step2--join leaves on row 8 as follows
On leaf A, ssk, k1, k2tog. Join leaf B by continuing to use same RH needle and yarn, ssk, k1, k2tog, and then leaf C=9st total.
Row 9, 11: purl.
Row 10, 12: ssk, k1 across
Work I-cord of desired length on remaining 3 st, draw yarn through to end.

Minor variation: join in circular fashion in row 8, then work from the wrong side to make the stem come out from behind like a real plant.
