Yarn Along :: 40-Cross Prayer Shawl
This past weekend, I picked up another knitting “work-in-progress” project … One that I intended to knit last Lent but one that remains incomplete. Hopefully, it won’t take me three years to finish, like my dear husband’s scarf! Maybe I’ll even finish it this Lent; I am half-way through, after all! The pattern is a handout from a local yarn shop, and the yarn is Berroco Vintage Chunky in “tide pool” blue.
I am currently reading the Bible, with the help of The Bible Timeline Guided Journal by Sarah Christmyer. It guides you through the story of salvation history by reading the 14 narrative books of the Bible in 90 days (or as long as it takes you). I went through The Great Adventure Bible Study 10 years ago, and it was amazing. I have done some additional studies, too. However, I really want to read the Bible on a more regular basis and enter into Lectio Divina, praying with Scripture. So, this Lent I am focusing on it!
With the kids, mainly my girls, I am reading For Such a Time as This: Stories of Women from the Bible, Retold to Girls. So, I guess they are getting a little Bible study, too!

Such a pretty yarn AND a nice pattern. I'm sure you will get it finished by Easter!
Thank you, Donna, for your kind comments … and for your encouragement to finish this shawl by Easter!
What a lovely pattern – so meaningful. Your books look wonderful too.
Thank you, Jayne! I appreciate you stopping by!
It looks like your Lent is off to a wonderful start! The prayer shawl is lovely and those books look great. I've been looking for something to share with my girls, too.
PS. Am I safe in assuming you're going to skip The Betrothed? It's actually getting pretty good! It just took 20 chapters for me to think that. ; )
Hello Margaret! You are right; I haven't even picked up "The Betrothed." I hope to get back on the WRM track with the next book …
