After months of battling an arthritis flare-up I am finally able to knit! Hooray! Here are two scarves that am working on to start the 2009 project year off on a good note. I am using the One Row Scarf Pattern from Stephanie Pearl McPhee. Very easy, reversible and quick. The first scarf is made with Ella Rae Mosaic Yarn and the second scarf is made with Noro Silk Garden. I am enjoying the feel of the needles in my hands and the yarn between my fingers. I hope to claim the first scarf as my own. The second scarf has been claimed by my son!
The other project I have on my slate of things "To-Do" is Scripture Memorization. I am following the Living Proof Blog (Beth Moore) and the challenge there is to memorize 2 Scripture verses a month. My first verse is one that I love but have not committed to memory and I think it makes a great verse for the beginning of the year:
Romans 12:2 (NIV) - Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will.
I have a new spiral index card notebook and I have recorded my verse. I have also posted it on the mirror in my bathroom and the dashboard of my van. I know that the Lord will use these verses to bless my socks off!
Hope the Lord is blessing your socks off today! Happy New Year!

HOORAY FOR YOU BEING ABLE TO KNIT ONCE MORE!!!
What in the world did you do with your hands when you weren't able to knit? I think I may have just gone crazy!!
Both of those scarves are gorgeous!! What a wonderful way to start the year!!
And you're doing Scripture memorization, too? I'm doing that, too-but not Beth Moore's--doing this on our own at my Power of Your Love blog. One verse a week is my commitment and also reading the Chronological Bible in a year!!
YEAH FOR US FOR GROWING DEEPER IN THE WORD!!!
