Feeling just

ducky!

Here’s the dishcloth with the rubber ducky - just finished it tonight. It is a rectangle - more than a square, but still cute nonetheless.

And . . . . the Kenai Lions are my heroes!

Yeah, that’s just pretty darned cool. It’ll be deposited tomorrow. And, registration for the trips for the Girl and me will be booked shortly afterwards.

If you have a Lions club in the area near you - please check them out. They do great things for kids (and adults) who have vision problems.

Long, long, LONG time ago - when I was only 4 years old - the Lions club in my hometown bought my first pair of glasses. I have had a love affair with them ever since.

Several years ago they held a fundraiser for my hubby to help with medical bills due to his eye problems (diabetic retinopathy) and we are - again - forever grateful to them.

We have purchased ducky race tickets many years - and this is the very first time we have ever won. How very cool is it that God allowed it to happen when we needed it for such a good thing.!?!

God is good - ALL the time.

About Knitting Passion

Is knitting really a passion? On THIS blog it is - for all who come here. Blog entries will be made up of patterns, photos of in-progress or completed work - off the wall discussions about whatever tickles the author's fancy (Survivor Knitting anyone?). This can be as much YOUR blog as it is the current author's. Questions will be entertained and answers sought diligently. Comments are always welcome - and information ALWAYS appreciated. Will there be stories and pictures of the stash of yarn or the duplicated knitting needles? Will there be more off the wall ideas for knitting? Will there be original patterns or freebies cited? Only the dark of night and the author's amount of caffeine or sleep can determine that.

Ready? ONE - TWO - GET SET - KNIT!
