I do not knit...I sew, so forgive any mistake with the metaphor lol...I did research a little about it so hopefully it isn't too far off the mark. I loved the idea of God creating this tapestry of life, of the two needles representing free will choices and predestined plan. I hope you enjoy it as well. God bless,Crystol Woods
The Maker : Knit and Purl


The Maker wields the needles
 of predestination and free will,
One in each strong, talented hand. 
Knitting the yarn and thread of our lives
Into the fabric of time with such love.
Knit ,with predestination;
His will is done.
Purl ,with free will;
Our choices made.
Knit and purl, purl and knit,
The pattern known to Him and yet 
allowed to be as it is, who it is. 
It is when choice agrees with His will
That the pattern becomes 
as beautiful as He intended. 
Until the tapestry of lives
 form who we are, why we are.
Interlocking with others,
Becoming part of the
 pattern of all things.
The Enemy cuts
With sharp shears of deceit.
 Maniacally ripping jagged holes.
The Maker patiently mends
With healing truth and love.
Knit and purl, purl and knit
Until we are whole again.
