Without going into the spiritual whys and wherefores of this most holy of holidays, I would like to share a beautiful example of the creativity God has granted to his people.
This work is absolutely amazing. Not just the precision of the work, but the gentleness and care that must be taken in order to complete it.

The "Proselytize Knitting" Badge - I often knit if public places. And I am decidedly not hip!
MacGyver Badge (Level One) - I've used the following as stitch markers: rubber band, paper clip, hair tie; I've cut yarn with nail clippers;
MacGyver Badge (Level Two) - I've used a lighted knitting needle as a flashlight and a knitting needle as a hair pin (it keeps a french twist in place in a pinch). I'm sure there are other times. I just can't think of them!
"I Will Impress You With My Math Prowess" Badge - Well, I'm not a math wiz, but I can substitue yarns without a reference guide, I can space increases and decreases evenly and even use math in my knitting projects. So, there.
Knitting Whilst Under the Influence Badge - Yes, I have knitted while drinking a wine cooler. Shame on me.
Knitting Has Forced Me to Seek Medical Attention Badge (Level One) - Okay, maybe this one hasn't been completely earned, but I've come close. While I haven't been to a doctor, I have the beginnings of Carpal Tunnel in both wrists from knitting & crocheting. I've received blisters, pin/needle pricks, lacerations from my knitting needles, bruises, stiff neck & shoulders. Not to mention that all that sitting hasn't helped my weight or the early stages of fibro!
Inordinately Fond of Novelty Yarn Badge - Oooh, fuzzy yarn! I love it! Sueded, sparkly, bumpy, lumpy, stretchy - fun, fun, fun!
The sorting hat says that I belong in Hufflepuff!
Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot, and treat them just the same."
Hufflepuff students are friendly, fair-minded, modest, and hard-working. A well-known member was Cedric Digory, who represented Hogwarts in the most recent Triwizard Tournament.
