21,618 Stitches of Love
I've made this pattern once before... in hopes... of a tiny granddaughter.
This time, each of the 21,618 stitches were crafted especially for a Little Lady on the way...
I enjoy knitting love and hope and blessings and prayers into a garment... and this one brims over with those.
The pattern is the Clara Dress by Karin Vestergaard. The yarn is Madelinetosh Light, color - iceberg.
Of course, then there needed to be shoes...
I hope you dance, dear granddaughter of mine...
Love, Noni

Moments...
Occasionally in life, we are blessed to witness moments...
Moments lives irrevocably change...
Moments you can almost hear a heart's seams rip as it swells with an exquisite, indescribable, unequivocal tenderness and... your own heart rips a little more with that same sweet tenderness...
Moments you witness a love born that will place another's needs above one's own... a love that will press on in times of exhaustion, frustration, hurt and sometimes hopelessness... A love that will endure and grow and carve your soul into the one God intended...
A love that will give you more joy... and grace... and moments of pure delight than you ever knew existed... and, yes, more heartaches and worry and concern. A love that will stretch and challenge and fulfill you beyond your wildest imaginings.
A love that finally illuminates a pale understanding of God's love for us.
A moment of knowing your child owns that kind of love.
August 31, 2012 we welcomed our newest grandchild... She is an angel, just like all the rest... More precious than I could ever have words to express.
My heart is full...
Blessings to all ~ tanna
