| My best friend, Sarah, has been working on what she called the "Big Secret Knitting Project" for almost 9 months now. |
 |
| On Saturday at a BBQ that we held to celebrate the final stage in the adoption of our son she handed me a small yellow gift bag. |
 |
| Inside that gift bag is one of the most beautiful pieces of knitting I have ever seen. |
 |
| It is Snowflakes in Cedarwoods Shawl, in honor of my little Alaska Baby. |
 |
| On Sunday the Lion Baby was wrapped in it as the Duke gave him his baby blessing. |
 |
| Then I wrapped myself in it as I spoke in church (our church has only lay clergy and members of the congregation are asked to give the sermons.) |
 |
| I didn't know that a shawl could not only keep you warm, but also let you feel loved. |
 |
| One day I hope the Lion Baby's bride will wear it on their wedding day. |
 |
| And I hope that Sarah is right there with me as we both bawl our eyes out just like we did in church on Sunday. |
 |
| Thank you, Sarah. It is stunning, and you are the best friend a girl (especially a knitter girl) could ever ask for, and the best auntie a Lion Baby could ever want! |
Wow. It is amazing. A lot of love and time went into creating that.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw it on Sunday I was stunned with how beautiful it was and was dying to know where you got it! Sarah, you are one talented lady!
