Neck Warmer Style Scarf

I finished my first crochet project since I started yesterday!! Originally, I was going to make a full length scarf, but I decided to go with a trendy neck warmer style scarf with buttons instead (gotta throw my own style in there somewhere!) I started yesterday for a few hours and then finished when I got home from work tonight... Here is the final product. I'm so excited!!! :o)

 

 

 Now, what to make next?.....

Galatians 3:8 // 3:13-14

We've been trekking through the book of Galatians at my church for a couple months now, and man, what a blessing it has been! There is so much meat packed into that book. Each week, I try to make it a point to take one verse that sticks out from the passage we're in and memorize it and meditate on it for the rest of the week. It's just something that personally helps me to digest the meat better.

Last week's memory verse:

And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.”

-Galatians 3:8 

This week's memory verse:

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.

-Galatians 3:13-14

Using What My Grams Taught Me

Once upon a time, I used to crochet. My Grams (grandma) taught me how to crochet when I was still in elementary school... about 9 or 10 years old. I remember the very first thing I crocheted too. It was a baby-pink scarf. Although it looked a bit contorted and the scarf was half the length it should have been, I was proud of my creation. Crocheting was so much fun for me and honestly, I don't know why I stopped. It's such an inexpensive hobby, and for me, there is a therapeutic element to it that I can't quite explain. So last night, I was in Walmart looking for some ballpoint pens, and I saw the crocheting and knitting section. I stopped to look around. I couldn't help but feel a wonderful sense nostalgia! So I went ahead and bought a few crochet needles and some yarn. Why not start up this awesome hobby again? There are so many things you can crochet, it's pretty amazing. Maybe one day (Lord willing) when we have children, I can make them blankets, hats, and other cute pieces of clothing... It's certainly cheaper than buying everything all the time, and no store bought blanket or hat can compare to one that has been hand-made with love! :o) I also think they'd make pretty cool gifts for family members and friends. Who knows, maybe I'll get good enough to start selling them? (Probably unlikely, but possibly!)

The beginnings of my gray scarf.
Since I'm a bit rusty and havent done this in 12 years, I hope it turns out alright...
