SIA still planning Winterfest By Denny Scott The Citizen Stitches with a Twist's Irene Kellins will be hosting the second of two free classes on arm knitting at the Blyth Library on Oct. 25. Arm knitting, a practice that has come to prominence in the last two years according to Kellins, is an identical practice to regular knitting but done so with arms and hands instead of knitting needles. The practice is similar to games of Cat's Cradle, passing yarn loops from one hand to the next. "You form the stitches on your arms," she said. "It starts with a slip knot, and you have six stitches on one harm. You loop through and you can create large items quicker." Kellins said arm knitting provides faster results as the loops are much larger, saying that the group of five women who attended the first evening on Oct. 12 each started and completed a shawl within the hour and a half they were at the session. "The program is free," Kellins said. "People just need to bring their own yarn." Kellins said people could come to her store and, for as little as $8, be prepared for the evening with different kinds and colours of yarn. She said the average cost is $11 for more colours or higher -end materials. The program is part of the Huron County Library's efforts to teach new practices, Kellins said, and was similar to a program held in Kitchener several years ago.

The seniors meeting for Oct. 26 is at the home of Lillian Appleby with a potluck lunch starting at noon. Deb and Fred Hakkers and myself travelled to Rutherglenn near North Bay to visit with Quinton Hakkers, who is working on a farm up there. What a beautiful trip. Mother Nature was at her best. The colours of red, orange and green mixed in were a sight to see. I know now why people take bus trips to see the colours in the fall. Coming home was not as pretty, because of the rain. I think we picked the best weekend to travel because the colours were at their best.

Author unknown, 1872) "He led them forth by the right way --that they might go to a city of habitation." Psalm 107:7 Just so will the Lord lead you, beloved reader by the "right way" --if you truly yield yourself to His guidance. The path by which He will conduct you will not always be smooth and pleasant. You will have some "Hill Difficulty" to climb, and some "Valley of Humiliation" to walk in. You will have some thorny steps to tread --and occasionally you may have to pitch your tent by Marah--the waters of bitterness. As you are led by a mysterious and circuitous way amidst perplexity and conflict --you may be ready to think that you are traveling by a needlessly painful and trying path, and that you may safely walk by some smoother one to the home of eternal rest. Do not yield to the temptation of turning aside from the path which the Lord plainly marks for you in His Word, and by the footprints of Christ. Still follow as He leads. He designs to exercise your faith, and patience, and self-denial. The way to the crown --is by the cross! Trust, then, your All -wise Leader --and depend on His faithfulness and grace. He will surely bring you by the right way... to the city of habitation, to the home of the redeemed, to the abode of endless rest, and peace, and love! "Jesus, on You our hope depends, To lead us on to Your abode, Assured our Home will make amends For all our toll while on the road!"
