CROCHET - Pedi-socks

I received a commission several weeks ago to make a pair of "pedi-socks" or toe-less socks. For this pattern, I used a size 1 yarn with a 3.75mm/F5 hook and used a sock pattern from a book, ommiting the "toe" part and instead trying the sock on and making a loop to go between the big toe and second toe. Here is the result!

Re-dedication of Sarah Chayil

When I first started this blog eight years ago, I wanted to use it to chronicle my focus on various Bible studies. I've used it more for thoughts I've had, especially when mulling over dreams.

So now I come back to the word "chayil". It means capacity, power, qualified, worthy (also wealth, army, and upper class). When used in Proverbs 31, it refers to a "woman of valor". I chose the word for Sarah Chayil because it meant "a princess of valor."

The past few months have been filled with so many changes, so much joy, and so much pain. I cling now to being a Sarah Chayil as I am a child of God in order to work through the hard times. I may talk some about those in the future, but for now, here are some new goals:

• Spiritual lessons - this is something I wrote about before, and I will continue to do so. There's plenty we can learn from one another.
• Nursing - I am a registered nurse, and currently work in the home health setting. As I am able to share stories, I may.
• Crochet - this is a beloved hobby of mine that has picked up over the past few years. I plan to showcase some projects I have finished, with applicable links to their patterns. If I created the pattern myself, I may publish it!
• Poetry/short stories - again, this was something I did previously on occasion, so I may share bits and pieces as I slowly pick up writing again. I've been so busy the past three years since graduating college, I haven't had much time to practice. I've just gone part time for a second time, this time for graduate studies, so I may find more time to write and slowly stoke the creative fire.
• Life - I have always shared about what is going on with life, and I plan to continue this as well. Maybe I won't go two years between posting again!

Anyway, thanks for sticking with me if you're still here from before. And if you are new, welcome! I'm glad to have you aboard. I'm looking forward to sharing a bit more with you all.
