I love the scarf pattern, Is there any way I could get the pattern?

That is the exact pattern I chose last year when I knitted a scarf for my mother's gentleman friend. I felt that it was masculine enough for him, looked at least OK on the wrong side and I made it in a beautiful blue the color of his eyes.

Currently, I'm reading a book called, "Knitting Through It", inspiring stories for times of trouble. I can remember knitting in hospitals, dentist's offices, red lights, lunch breaks,in-laws house, etc. Knitting takes so long that one has to grab their moments of knitting whenever possible. There's a simple gentleness to the process of knitting that I find comforting. I am thinking and meditating in a way.

Sandi,

Thank you for your heartfelt words today, because today of all days has been a really hard day for me, I have lost one family member and am about to loose another in the next few days. I have been at the hospital for the last few days so I have had some down time to knit and pray and think about family. The family memeber I lost today was found with the booties and afghan that I knit her wrapped around her as she lay there peaceful. As for the family member I am about to loose I have have been knitting her a prayer shawl but I am thinking know that maybe God had other things in store for her. Extended family or family close to you is very important.

I saw your scarf project and I have already started knitting the scarf for your project, never have I knit a cable so this will be my first cable project as well, but seeing that I have just lost a few of my family members I want to bring something to someone who might one day become a part of my worldly family.

Peace be with you all

-D

From one Sandy to another Sandi....

This is such a beautiful post. Your "yarn" is an inspiring invitation to knit a scarf for a family member... in an extended sense of the word. Taking up the pen as well as your needles is a gift to many, Sandi. Thank you.
