  • Salvation Colors Afghan – Part 4 GOLD

    Hell offers complete separation from God. This comes from rejecting him as Lord and Savior. We used ORANGE to represent the Gates of Hell in the previous panel.

    Heaven, however, is eternity spent with God. Gold is used in this next panel to represent heaven as described in Revelation 21:18 and the city was pure gold.

    Jesus is preparing a home for you and me. He promises to take us to that home in John 14:2,3 In my Father’s house are many mansions..I am going to prepare a place for you I will come back and take you to be with me.

    Your heavenly home is under construction right now.

    I love the stitch pattern names for this color.  In crochet we have a stitch pattern called Crosses.  What better representation of the love our Father in Heaven has for us than that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8)

    The knit pattern is called Trinity because you knit/purl 3 stitches in one stitch. Like Father, Son, Holy Ghost, 3 in 1.

    Download the pattern for both knit and crochet (click here). (PDF reader is required) 

    I will be posting video of stitch demonstration for each version. Check back for the tutorial.

  • Salvation Colors Afghan – Part 3 ORANGE

    We are condemned to life in hell. Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death. Not the physical death, but the spiritual second death, life eternally separated from God.

    It is further described in Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is a second death.

    Are you anywhere on that list?

    All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23.

  • Upcoming KAL and CAL

    As I was writing up the patterns for the Salvation Colors lapghans an idea started to knit in my head.

    Let’s make these together!! How about a Knit-A-Long (KAL) and a Crochet-A-Long (CAL) featuring one panel a month. If we start in September/October we will finish up in April in time for Easter. In the end you have your own witnessing tool.

    With this in mind I am preparing the story for each color and pattern will be posted one each month. I will also prepare a short video for each stitch pattern to help you along the way. Comments will be open on the blog to allow for questions and comments on the pattern.

    So mark your calendar, panel 1 will be posted next week.

    For this is what the Lord has commanded us: “I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvations to the ends of the earth. Acts 13:47NIV

  • Still working

    My local Knit Crochet Bible Study starts tomorrow night so I am frantically typing away, getting the pattern written out for the Colors of Salvation afghan/lapghan.

    I finished up a knit and a crochet version.  I will be posting the patterns and scripture verses soon.

     

  • Salvation Colors Lapghan

    Just finished writing up the lessons for the Fall Knitting/Crochet Bible Study at my church. I have created lapghans to practice new stitches while studying this semester. Using the “Colors of Salvation” we will knit and or crochet lapghans, or perhaps use the strips for scarves. No matter what their final project is, here are pics of the lapghans.  I am now writing up the patterns and will post for download soon.

     

  • Can this project be saved?

    While cleaning out my inbox I ran across this article about a sweater knit in wool and acrylic that somehow ended up in the washer and dryer.  It did shrink to the point that the neck is now too small to go over the head of a child.

    Solution? Add a zipper.  Check out the process used at Creative Knitting.

    On a personal note, I am still too frightened of unraveling the whole thing to try this myself, but I have seen so many articles on making it work I may have to put this on my Try It Out list.
