Denise's Needles and Pins: 5 hour sweater

There's a difference between real time and knitting time

Over the weekend I decided I would try a new pattern I found on the internet. There are actually several variations of this baby sweater, but they are all called the 5 hour sweater. ( If you google this you'll see what I mean.) Well, I am now about 7 hours into this thing and only half way done. I did find a few errors in the pattern I'm using, and it is toddler size as opposed to infant size, but still.....

I do like how it will looks. It has a very interesting yoke pattern.

And it's as easy as pie!

Maybe I shouldn't be knitting while I'm watching football...especially when my beloved Patriots are having a bad day!

The Story of "A Promise to Noah"

Genesis 9:12

For several years now, I have been making quilts for children in crisis, be it medical, emotional, social or otherwise. "A Promise to Noah" is my ministry named in honor of my grandson as well as for the Bible passage in which God promises Noah a rainbow after a storm . Each quilt carries with it a promise of hope. They are stitched with love and prayers so each child can find the necessary strength to face their specific challenge. Each quilt is unique and has been named. The recipient receives with the quilt a card with a message of encouragement and the name of their personal one-of-a-kind quilt.
