You have a way that touches the perception of self through the living out of creative being. For me this means that I now look inside to bring out my identity as I allow my self to create.Maureen Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499876353651763590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-15877095579272946982013-10-14T15:45:32.477-05:002013-10-14T15:45:32.477-05:00Thank you, Linda!Thank you, Linda!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577800842379365136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-85080527943230630302013-10-14T12:13:29.251-05:002013-10-14T12:13:29.251-05:00Marie, I've seen some of your great knitted cr...Marie, I've seen some of your great knitted creations.

It's the same with outlines in writing. I suspect I have problems with authority, even my own. LOL<br /><br />You have such a creative mind, as shown in your books, that I'm sure you'll be able to make that leap when you decide you really want to.Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-30183114815421397842013-10-14T11:27:50.250-05:002013-10-14T11:27:50.250-05:00Beautiful work, Linda.

The idea of knot magic is wonderful, and I'm not surprised at the powers of the shawl you created.<br /><br />My mother's mother crocheted many, many afghans and blankets--I have a couple put away for grandbabies, if I'm ever blessed with them. I am a pattern-follower: cross-stitch when I was young, now needlepoint and crewel. I love to bring to life the images that artists created. Though I find myself drawn more and more to the knots and textured stitches of crewel, and imagine creating my own designs. But I can't seem to make the leap as I did into creating images with words. We are always novices at something, yes?Laura Benedicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474185786017084327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-85852273848795916042013-10-14T10:00:10.807-05:002013-10-14T10:00:10.807-05:00Thank you, Rose.

Our ancestors practiced it, knowingly or not, as they made clothing and other items for their loved ones and poured their intentions for safety, protection, health, and success into their handwork.Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-12390057611066442472013-10-14T09:58:06.328-05:002013-10-14T09:58:06.328-05:00Thank you, Angela!
