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.

Garter Bootee Pattern

Sharing a pattern for some bootees I made up (.gif format).

Realistic Stash Knit-down 2009

Tracking my progress for my Ravelry stash knit-down challenge.
Goals: 24 total finished projects/11 done
12 projects from stash yarn/7 done
try 3 new/unfamiliar techniques--done!

1. Brown squares hat: stash=yes(UFO)
2. Felted Clogs for DH: stash=yes
3. DS's Icelandic style sweater: stash=no. New technique--round yoke shaping
4. Crosstiching fingerless gloves. Stash=yes.
5. Kinz pullover: Stash=yes
6. Baby Afghan: stash=no. New techniques--intarsia, knitted-on edging, and Swiss darning
7. Baby hat: stash=yes (leftovers)
8. Baby Bootees: stash=yes (leftovers)
9. Calorimetry: Stash=no.
10. Lace tank. Stash=yes.
11. DD1's socks. Stash=no, but they'd been IP>1 yr.

I may also count 12 sq. in. of afghan as a FO, since I see some other people are counting afghan squares as FO's. My Crazy Scrap Afghan doesn't have regular squares. It is rectangles of random dimensions pieced together. I will consider a 12 square inch area to count as a "square" Have done 2x12 sq. in. so far.
I also joined the Welshmillie Afghan KAL and have done 5 weeks projects (pattern + plain square) so far.
