Project Linus
It's been awhile since Mac (almost 17) and his buddies have been able to practice for their band, Civic Service. He was hoping for a snow day so that they could come over and practice today. I told him if they didn't have school, the guys would be welcome here. We discussed how today would be better than tomorrow as I explained that the other children and I are heading to the library for a Project Linus class.
"Project Linus?", Mac asked. I explained how we are going to learn to crochet blankets for babies. He thought I said we were going to crochet babies. "Mom," he replied, "Now, I know that I'm not extremely familiar with the process of how babies are made, but I think that it takes a little more than crochet."
Proud of my quick wit, I responded, "You're right, Mac! Psalm 139 says, 'For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.' "
He smirked, and told me that I shouldn't try to play God. I then explained that we are crocheting baby blankets that will be donated. The entire conversation tickled my funny bone. By the way, school was open.

Project Linus is such a great project.
I hope to make some comforters (as I don't quilt) with the kids - the ones where we'll knot the corners of the squares.
Very pretty project!
whahooo! great application to the Word!!! awesome!
Tracy, have you tried making crocheted baby booties? I have wanted to try that for ages, and would love a trustworthy pattern.
Anna,
I haven't, but if I do, I'll pass the pattern on.
LOL ~ Your's and Mac's conversation ...It has a somewhat familiar ring to it. Could it be because we have sons of similar age? :o)
