  • Join me on this very long (very condensed for you...) journey on learning to knit a sweater from scratch with no pattern!! Was this a good idea? maybe... was it frustrating? absolutely at times. But hey, we did get a sweater out of it!

    When she said she did 72 cast on stitches, I was like, “That is going to be huge.” But it turned out better than I thought it would!

    To make it easier next time, just knit a swatch which is 4x4 inch and count how many stitches are per inch and use that with your measurments☺️✌🏼

      What does 4x4 mean? Like an all even swatch on all 4 sides. Low-key don’t understand for some odd reason 😅

    Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. John 3:16(KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
    Pray this prayer. The prayer doesn't get you to heaven but believing in Jesus does.)
    Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I deserve hell. I realize that you died on the cross to save me. Please forgive me. Please come into my heart and save me now. I am trusting only you for my eternal salvation. Help me now that I am saved to serve you faithfully. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen.
    It is worth it to know him.

    I think those who are"actual' knitters or crocheters, are jealous that WE HAVE MAGICAL MINDS that don't need a pattern. I AM YOUR NEWEST FAN... 🫂💜☕️☕️
