Well I think it is..
Write a little note on what blessings you've received each day and pop the notes in a jar to read either at the end of the month or year or when you're feeling 'blue'!!
And what made my heart sing yesterday? My DD phoned as she had received those pesky fingerless mitts. I sent them to the school where she works, she is an Examination Officer in two Cambridge Comprehensives. A very stress filled job especially as the one took on the IB.
She was delighted and had shown them to all her colleagues, who were very impressed! Criky it was just a cable pattern with a twist section around gaps.. the worst bit was the awful metal needles. If I had the size in plastic I would have used those but I didn't. I have bought new sets of needles for sock knitting, which are wooden and square, yes square, but they hold the stitches securely..
Anyway I am looking forward to reading my notes at the end of March? I suppose I could write them in a little book but some how, little notes appealed to me more!
Whew so glad she thought they were ok!
Happy Days.
A lovely idea Chris and the mitts turned out beautifully in spite of your troubles knitting them.

ReplyDeleteNeat little idea there Chris. Your work on the mitts was worth it. I hope you have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteA very good idea..I am constantly looking for perfect moments. We have so many yet seem to fixate on the negatives xx
ReplyDeleteLovely idea Chris, we all have moments to be thankful for and looking back on them will make us remember those good times.Glad Joanne liked the gloves now you can finish your cardi off.I've never heard of square needles,must have look for them xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea. I should be sure to put the date on the little note, too, and later write them up in booklet form. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea Chris .
ReplyDeleteI knew your DD would love those gloves hugs.
So glad she liked them! They looked so cozy and warm :D
ReplyDeleteLove the notes idea.
ReplyDeleteWhen my sibling twins were 40 I did them jars with age saying etc in them.
What a great idea! Like the jar too.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you record the things you've made. I'm hopeless at it but think I might start, that way I might feel like I've achieved more.
Square knitting needles, never heard of them before ... will have to seek them out, need to know about these things you know lol
