Then, when my children were young I enjoyed knitting and crocheting many of their toys. Later I started learning about new technologies and got hooked on computers. Between that, and a career, and raising my 2 girls I set needle crafts aside.
I recently returned to knitting as a way to distract myself from my chronic pain and help keep my spirits up during those especially high pain episodes. And it does help. One time, while I was untangling a ball of yarn, I pondered how my life was a tangled mess and only God could guide me through the tough times as well as the good. This led me to think of other word pictures and how they relate to knitting, God and the Bible. I then sought out Bible studies centered around knitting. There was very little to be found. So I started writing down my own stories and word pictures. I sought out scripture, meditated and prayed over them and my writing. Once some friends heard what I was doing, they asked me to share it with them.
The women just loved it! We had new knitters just learning and “seasoned” knitters to show them how. We would all gather at our meeting spot which had nice soft chairs and sofas. Then after some prayer, we would begin.
What worked best was for one person to Read the Lesson and Scripture verses while the rest continued to work on their projects and joined in conversation about how their hearts were being touched. This would take 20 minutes or so. Then we found ourselves talking about the week's Scripture and Lesson as well as what was happening in our lives until it was time to go. Many found it easier to share with the comfortable setting and knitting work in their hands. Believe you me, we were either enjoying ourselves so much or so engrossed in our projects and discussion, our time would be up and we would forget to quit!
