I started working on a "strawberry sweater" for Abby a few years ago. I put it down for a few months, forgot what pattern I was following, and wasn't able to figure it out so I left it.

And then last week, with a wee bit of prompting from my girl, I started all over again with different yarn and a new pattern. The progress has been slow, but it's taking shape. And I'm really, truly enjoying the process of creating something new.

For that sense of satisfaction, I am grateful, because feeling like I can do something meaningful for someone else is a big blessing.
