Keeping Life Going

So many people have huge struggles. And somehow we always say that it is unfair that some have a hard life, while others seem to go clear of obsticals and adversity.

But then, most of us experience hard times, loss of loved ones, getting sick and unable and what not.

 I found the text on my newly knitted scarf summens up my way of dealing with hardships. That doesn't mean everything is easy. But I hold onto it. It keeps life going.

Norwegian text on the scarf.

The world is a harsh place but I find hope from my faith. 

So I knitted this bible verse from Romans 12.12 in norwegian: Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer.

There is so much hope. And there is tribulation. And a way through it all praying. Not very complicated. 

I love knitting these scarves. I have already knitted two before with the blessing on them in different colors. 

Using magic loop with these gorgeous knitting needles called Chiaogoo twist it is a dream just seeing those letters emerge. 

A really genius pattern from which you can use any text you want. This time I used a thicker yarn as the text wasn't that long. 

It is quite heavy but it is nice to wear and warm. Knitting is also something that gives meaning and helps somehow. I have a lot of joy in combining the things that really keeps me going and my knitting. 

I hope you are ok and that you find hope in all the madness in the world.

Had To Try This

Sometimes yarn is speaking to me from my stash: Knit me, Knit me, Knit me. This may qualify as some kind of diagnosis but since we are not allowed to see people, yarn can be a good substitute for a hug and a conversation. LOL!!!

Anyway, I have all this Kauni rainbow lace lying around. And some orange mohair, which also started talking, so I ended up pairing the two. After all, I was a litte afraid of them starting a choir and make all the other skeins join them. That would have been ear damaging and possible hearing on the moon. Yes, I have a considerable amount of stash.

So, I joined these two and it was a fun knit. To see the rainbow yarn blend with the orange mohair was like stripe knitting in another way.

I end up giving the scarf away. I really like it but will never wear it. After all, I have some scarves from before.

Hope you are well and find some people or yarn to talk to.
