Happy Easter Weekend to you all!!!

Perfect Start!

WHAT FUN....and a PERFECT start to the New Year!!!

Thanks to everyone who turned out for our Second Annual Yarn Tasting. LOTS of fun and new faces, too! We also had lots of people signing up for all the upcoming classes and workshops. You can see them on our FaceBook page, or here on the blog, too: Lamb's Loom Class Listing  If you missed out on the sign up, just send an email, call or come by and we will get you added in. The ColorWork on the Long Loom class is filled up, so keep an eye out for another one soon!

We were also so very honored to have our new friend Gail White join us for the day! She will be offering several weaving, drop spindle and dye classes coming up. The first is a Loom Workshop. We already have two workshops filled up and working on dates for others!!! Let us know what you'd like to join in on, as class size is limited.
 
Special thank you to everyone who came and put so many lovely items in the donations chest! You are a blessing to soooo many!!!!

And apparently there was an "un-knotting party" in the front room! Who knew?

We hope you didn't miss Dianna with her new stock of DG Crazed Yarns...AND Alys' lovely scarf that she contributed for the day!

Well, in the middle of yarns and swifting and snacking, we hope you all had as much fun as we did! 

Happy 2016 to you all... 

May your knots be few, your purls be many and your stitches continue to be blessed to share God's love throughout the world!

THANKFUL...

There just does not seem to be the enough words to say thank you to every one of you! Every little thing, every bit of yarn, donated hats and prayers lifted up has been woven together so beautifully over the last year and half.

Just looking back to move-in day till now, makes ya jump for joy! There are soooo many pictures to share, both in the shop and from the dear ones who receive your gifts of prayer and lovingly made items. OH, and the numerous times we have sent an email, or posted to FB and y'all have responded to whatever the need with such generosity...YOU make a difference in this world and we are blessed to know each and every one of you!!!
 

No matter where you are woven into this adventure of The Lamb's Loom, PLEASE know you have our heartfelt thanks!!! We're praying y'all have a wondermous Thanksgiving weekend and we'll see you on the 1st!
First Tuesday on the First

We just can't believe that September has flown by like this!

SOOOOO much has happened and we are so very grateful to all of you who have jumped in and participated!  


Space bags are filling up for Christmas deliveries, another shipment was put together for the women's ministry in China and LOTS of items have been collected for the Dump Church in Reynosa, Mx.




And of course, there's yarn and notions and classes, OH MY!

Trying to get everything ready and in place for when all our Winter Texan friends get back home, too! 

There have been a few changes since they all flew away, so we're hoping they are happy with a few of the new items. We already have news of some gifts they are bringing to donate, too!!! Can't wait to see all of those beautiful things! 

You can always see recent pictures and stories on FB and Twitter. And check our calendar for the latest class and event posting!
Thanks for checking in on us! As always....
Prayers & Purls till we see you again!

Hope Filled Week!

Last week was such a blessing...THANKS to all who participated! We were soooo blessed to have Peggy and Jon Sperling drive all the way from Colorado, picking Hope up along the way, just to visit all us KnitWits!

Peggy is the director of Women Connect in China and she has been taking teams...with space bags full of shawls/hats, of course...to China for the last few years. 17 trips so far!!! 

It was such a blessing for everyone to get to meet them and hear stories from China. We really have no idea the impact our shawls and hats have on so many.

One of the precious things is that Hope brought her prayer shawl with her to "meet" the ladies that created it. For those new to the KnitWits, Peggy used to give Hope a shawl on every trip to China! Not because she needed tons of shawls, but because every time Hope got one, she would then come across the path of someone who needed the encouragement of receiving one!   SO, that got us thinking and we made her one of her very own. We spent weeks passing it around and everyone added their favourite color and then Ann put little wooden hearts on each section with that person's name on it. THAT is the shawl she brought with her from China to be with her during her time here. Not all of us still live here, etc., but she did get to meet many of the names on that shawl....and each time she would find that lady's heart and just hold on to it. 

 

 Oh! What an amazing time we had praying over all these things that are off to China for the September trip! It was soooo special to have Hope and Peggy with us for this....

Peggy sharing more stories of their travels in China....could hear a pin drop!

 Dottie and Jo finally got to meet!!! :D

We showed Hope the donation chest and then SHE got to pick out things to send on the next trip....THAT was a first!!!

Hope just had to show Terri that these had been thoroughly tested, before sending them off! 

We got to tell Hope that Mary (on the left) always sends her shawls with a matching hat, so now she's got a friend's face with her when they are given away....a little more of the prayer shawl story woven together. 

 
Angela taught Hope how to make a flower on the loom...so now, she's a KnitWit! Right? 

A quick stop at Shipley's before leaving town, of course!!!

We kept them busy for the three days they were here, meeting and making friends, while they shared stories about their work in China and other parts of the world.

God just filled these three days with precious times and sweet memories. Your prayers over it all, led the way....thank you! 

Just so ya know, Ann's first knee replacement surgery went very well!!!  She is doing really well at all the physical therapy, too. The other knee will be done tomorrow AND they say if she continues this progress, she'll just be sent straight home and do therapy from there!!! Thanks in advance for all the continued prayers....she'll be up and running in no time!

Prayers & Purls

For the Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete.
