Hat-Trick – a free hat pattern for adult women or men:
A hat-trick is an achievement based on the number three.
Three is the most playful of all numbers.
Three in the numerology chart,
means you are creative, socially active, artistic, and optimistic.
Pono – $5, a simple jacket pattern:
When you are right with yourself,
with others and with Spirit,
you are in Pono.
The word itself, means ‘right’ and describes that exquisite sense of rightness that comes from
being “at one” with everything.
This is based on the ancient
Hawaiian belief
in spirit greatness and self power,
in the
unconditional love and compassion for,
and the spirit connections between,
all things
I invite you to take one minute of inner quiet every day:
Focusing on a 60-second meditation or prayer stops the forward momentum of anxiety and nervousness that’s so pervasive in our world. Anybody, regardless of schedule, can do it ! Take just a moment of quiet, think about the love you have in your heart — even one brief minute of peacefulness is powerful.
With your knitting in your hands, take hold of what’s fresh and useful from a short meditative break, and receive that calm into the continuing action of your life.”
Please check out the November & December class schedule!
Building on small successes
In any undertaking
In any relationship
Be very clear of your intentions
Whatever they are,
That is what will manifest
Focusing on our successes, no matter how small, is an effective way to reduce fear. We all have everyday experiences that are successful. Notice those special and significant successes and build upon them. In order to have a happy and fulfilled life we need to focus on those build ups rather than the tear downs. Yet it is so easy to habitually tear ourselves down, by concentrating on our limitations rather than building on our successes.
Acknowledge fears and replace fear with love. When we acknowledge our fears and begin to work through them, we start with just one small step at a time and build on each success. When we experience setbacks; that is the time to believe and trust in our ability. Notice any patterns, either toward your goal or away, and take action.
You are a confident, powerful and spiritually based YOU. Continue to emerge as you let go of your old self. Building a bride of small successes can lead to the shore of our aspirations.
What small, non-threatening step can you take right now to help you transform fear to love and build your own unique bridge.
I allow myself to take small steps toward my goals
I accept and trust myself during both successful and difficult times
I give myself permission to change
I have the courage to pamper myself
I am worthy of receiving as well as giving
Pampering and taking care of myself is a healthy thing to do
Define KNIT:
The phrase to cause to grow together can mean several things.
You have the ability to produce the outcome and achieve your desired result. Move beyond the thinking that has limited or damaged in the past. There are those conditions in our actions, in our thoughts and undertakings that truly impact the outcome in any given situation. You can change your thoughts at any time; choose to make them agree with your desired end result.
Choose your outcome; direct and take charge of your behavior to match that outcome. (Remember, all emotional pains last for 12 minutes, anything longer that that is self-inflicted.)
Listen to your body and its wisdom. You are a knitter:
I give myself the gift of sitting up front in my life. I pay attention. I have a right to really experience my feelings.
In every situation train yourself to:
BLESS the present
EXPECT the best
TRUST yourself
The Rough Rib Scarf design is rugged, burly and the perfect stitch pattern for a man. The broken rib construction is a simple 2×2 ribbing. Cast on an uneven number of stitches, any multiple of 4 stitches plus 3, so that the knit and purl stitches don’t line up. Broken rib is all about texture; the broken columns of knits and purls allow the scarf to lay flat and hang smooth. Plus it’s reversible.
This pattern is FREE, please visit the shop!
