Are you ready to begin the journey ... journaling is such a popular trend these days, so why not leave your memories in lace - allowing the yarn overs of the past few days, the increases in joys, the decreases in pounds (if you're lucky!) .... special times captured and revisited for months and years to come ...
I've opted for Bernat Satin in Silk (4 skeins) and plan on adding a crochet edge by year's end with an additional skein of Camel... however, the choices are yours. Visit your stash or your local yarn shop .... but let's mark this new beginning by remembering the snow we all anticipated here in Alabama ... we stocked up on milk and bread, grateful that the blizzard never really formulated .... but being able to see snow for a few hours is still a precious reminder that each snowflake is a custom creation and that together they form a blanket of gentle beauty that seems to whisper in such simplicity the incredible Magnificance of the Maker.
I'm off to re-create my own freshly fallen snow ... hope you'll join me. Please let me know if you have any questions. Ready for the pattern?
