Your Current Project

By this time, I'm sure you're all hard at work with your projects. Well, I want to see 'em! Snap a photo of your current project (or better yet, have a friend take a picture of you working on your current project) and email it to me at shutterbugette@hotmail.com! All the photos will be added to our blog and Facebook page to show everyone what we're all about. To start, here's my ripple afghan I'm currently working on. Now it's your turn! Happy yarning!

Easy Ripple Afghan

I'm currently working on one of these myself, only in Red Heart's soft navy, country blue, and aran fleck. I'll post pictures of my progress later, but this is my first ripple afghan and I'm really enjoying it. I want to make more after I'm done with this one!

Anyways, I thought I'd share the pattern, since it's a quick, easy blanket to make for Yarnies. Enjoy!

    Weekly Ads - 8/29 - 9/11

    I thought I'd start adding these on a weekly basis (in theory) to help when purchasing yarn. I'll post ads for stores that have yarn on sale during the current week. This will be based off of Twin Falls, ID stores, so those of you who don't live in the area need to put in your zip code and see if yarn is on sale in your local stores. Click the store's name to visit their weekly flyer. I know it's late in the week, but I just thought of it, so...sorry. I'll do better next week. :) Please contact me if I miss one.

    A Note from The Luke Commission

    Was thrilled to see this in my inbox this morning! It's a conversation between my step-mom and someone from The Luke Commission.

    Also wanted to let you know my daughter Jenny was looking for a ministry for her crocheting and I told her that I could take stuff with me to Swaziland in February when I go and she started this, yarniesforthegospel.blogspot.com. check it out. I can't wait. Let me know what you think.

    God Bless
    Kathy

    This is a great blog. Please tell Jenn that what you cannot carry over in February we will put on the container that will leave Idaho probably next spring. We can store anything she would like in TLC shop. I did not see your daughter’s e-mail address on the blog page, so please communicate my excitement for her idea and endeavor.
    To God be the glory!
    Jan Tuinstr

    I decided to email Jan for myself.

    Hello Jan,
    My name is Jenn and I'm Kathy Campbell's step-daughter. She forwarded your conversation with her this morning and I personally wanted to thank you for your willingness in accepting my ministry. I apologize for not coming to someone deeper within The Luke Commission, but I assumed Kathy would tell the proper people, as I see she did.
    My ministry has grown to a decent amount of ladies, eager to use their talents and time to provide quality yarn goods to the people of Africa. I didn't plan for it to be this large, but I'm very pleased to know that nothing will go to waste and you're willing to store any extra - which I'm strongly thinking there will be! :)
    I'm excited for this opportunity to serve the Lord and to help a wonderful, God-glorifying organization.
    In His Service,
    Jenn Marshall

    This is very encouraging! God is good! If you're on Facebook, make sure to check out The Luke Commission's page.
