Today I join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday. For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live. God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.
Joy comes in many forms.
And this day has the potential of
being just as grand as
celebrating the beauty in
the alpacas at
The Woods

Knitting is something my mother taught me when I was 12 years old and for that I am truly grateful!!
It brings me joy, satisfaction and appreciation of God's nature. The yarn with which I am knitting this prayer shawl is alpaca from the WhiteViolet Center at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods here in Indiana. The yarn is a blend of two alpacas, Basilide and Linden. Oh! The joy this brings!!!

The Apaca wool
Soft and gentle to the touch
Just as the Masters

Love the alpaca haiku, Cathy. Alpaca wool is so soft and warm and touchable. Wearing your prayer shawl will be a glorious experience for the recipient's senses.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful animals, and that is a lovely shawl..
ReplyDeleteI agree. Beautiful animals and wool!
ReplyDeleteHaving had the pleasure of touching the softness of an alpaca before it was shorn, I can only imagine how wonderful their wool must feel in your hands!

ReplyDeleteHow very lovely!!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me wish I knew how to knit. Love your photo with the animals in it. Is that a beehive on the branch?

I think it is a hornet's nest. I'm not sure and I didn't want to get too much closer. Thank you for your visit and remember wishes can come true. Some just take more work to accomplish than others. Give knitting a try.
DeleteYour post sent me to Google. I didn't know you were in Indiana. We'll be in Indianapolis at Easter and I want to see St. Mary's. Our son teaches at Cathedral H.S. in Indi so perhaps some of his students have chosen to go there. Maybe we can even meet for coffee?
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Two of the kids live in INDY...Maybe we can meet! ;0)
