Beginner Scarf Knitting Pattern

Chunky Scarf Pattern 

Hey friends! Burr it’s cold again in Tennessee and I love chunky scarves.  I have a pattern for this simple beginner scarf in my shop. Click the link above!

Cozy scarves and #handmadeknitsbytracy bracelets can match😍

Hand knit bracelets are knitted cuffs that hug your wrist so nothing hard is touching the skin.
 The best testimony I have been told was when a teacher at a blind school told me she wore her bracelet so her students could “feel” the soft cuff but the letters were metal and the student could tell it was her by the bracelet. 💙
 How great that our God is there in the seen and unseen in our lives.  Just look for Him in your life. He is there.

I love seeing how you wear your bracelet and what it means to you! Share your bracelet photos or your scarf you knit! I would love to see them. Tag me on social! I will share your photos


Blessings and stay warm!

Only Jesus

Custom Design Your Own Bracelet

Only through J E S U S 

can we be changed, 

loved limitlessly, 

be enduringly strong, 

forgiven, 

sanctified, 

and always delivered. 

God the Father sent his son Jesus to suffer for us and redeem us through His resurrection on the cross.  If I am a disciple, I am a reflection of Christ for those here in this life.  This is my time to step up! Jesus is all sufficient and qualifies me to share the gospel.  I have said it before and I will keep #preachingtomyself  to be “salt and light.” Season my community with God’s grace and through His Words share power and light up the darkness.  Beloved child of God there is nothing that disqualifies you other than listening to the enemy.  

I love this latest order in the shop that went out this week!  It inspired me who Jesus is and how that impacts me as a believer 🧡

What about you?   Have you felt disqualified from sharing who Christ is? 

Let’s me encourage you today that your story matters! 

Blessings-

Am I Trusting God?

Hello friends!

Today was to start of the study of book James for me. I began the study in  Knit the Gospel into Your Heart Group this morning. This is a group just for those who want to grow in God's Word and study together. I would love for you to join too!
Take a look at the video if interested in the group this month? Of course there is incentives because I am a knitter who creates Custom Bracelets





I am amazed at the work God is doing. He has "knit" almost 50 women together from all over the United States and Jamaica to study the Word of God together.  It is certainly not me it is All God's work.  I am just excited that I am walking beside Him and following His lead in this study of James this month.


As I have been studying James the word of God has stirred up in me a desire to better understand this question, "Do I trust God?" I have been tested and recently we as a family have been hit with some sad news about a family members diagnosis of cancer. It was unexpected but really when are you expecting a test from God?

The verse that I have been praying this week is and drawing comfort from is ...

"Do not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be known to God." Philippians 4:6-7

I hope that through the testing and trials you may face right now or in the next few weeks you claim the promise of God's grace and love during the time.  He is always asking us "Do you trust me?" Will we lean into Him or run away from God.  (HERE is a post about running if interested)

I will leave you with this my friends!

"Man doesn't not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God"

Are you Praying BIG!

Hello Friends!

Gods word always changes my worry into worship. Hebrews 4:16 says come confidently to God and He will give us mercy and find grace in our time of need.

Are you praying in confidence to our Heavenly Father? He wants all of our heart, mind, and body and our Big Prayers to Him that if He isn't in that thing your praying for or about it will not work, be healed, or happen in our lives.  We have to give it all to Him in confident prayers.

My WHY 

I started creating bracelets that encourage women began about a year and a half ago when I needed to be encouraged during a season of life that felt like I was suffocating and drowning in the pit of parenting struggles with teenager. Have you felt that way before? Or maybe you are there now? I can tell you you are not alone friends. Prayer and God's Truth is where you can find an ever present help, always 💞 

His Word fed my soul and words just seemed to leap off the page and I wanted them to wear daily. So I began this dream to create bracelets using my God given talent, knitting and the need for scripture to be in front of me and you guys have blessed supporting me and more importantly God has used you guys to encourage me when I doubted in myself. 

So today I pray for the mother, sister, wife, friend and woman who needs to feed her faith and not the lies, pray big to our Heavenly Father. 

Grace to you friends!

Valentine's Day Joy

John 3:16
Live Loved

Hello Friends!



Before I was married, there was a constant seeking of love. The commercialized love that we only see from TV.  None the less this was a disaster because the world teaches us that we should seek love in all the wrong places like boys, beauty, food, and our circumstances.  My parents were married but when they divorced, I was crushed and it said love changes.

I have been married to Brad for 22 years and to be honest I had no clue "how to love" but together we placed Jesus in the middle. This made our marriage stronger and committed. We have learned to love like Jesus when life was hard and wanted to give up.
 Jesus gives us endurance to fan the flame!

Today is Valentine's Day, a day that the world talks all about love and romance but I want to share with you all about a love that is unending and never changes, very different from the temporary love we find in people and the world.

If you are a woman in the waiting, single or married already, there is a Perfect person for you.  That person is Jesus Christ, who loved us first and will never let us go.  He holds us up when we are weak and He never fails us.  He is always there and never disappoints us. He is faithful.

So even if your waiting on the perfect man, single and happy or married to your man already. True love and true joy can be found in Jesus Christ alone so then we can love our husbands, future husband and others around us better just like Jesus.   If your curious about this man called Jesus, look to the Holy Bible and read more about Him.
He will fan the flame of endurance in you!




"Let us do everything in love." 1 Corinthians 16:14

God Goals for Every Woman

Reading through the bible this year with you!

Hello friends!

A new year has begun and new goals are written down. Do you write down your goals or maybe you call them big dreams?  All I know, is that I use to be horrible at doing it. I mean actually writing down anything.  I have heard if you don't write down your goals they are just dreams.  That made sense to me because when I have ever wanted something in life I actually set a goal or plan to get it done.  It isn't always easy.  It can scare you and excite you.  This year I have realized somewhere along the years of parenting, I lost what I wanted to be as a woman. You know besides a good mom to the kids and wife to my husband. Those are good things but hey the kids grow up and  leave the nest. My husband and I have made a great team over the last 23 years and He is the dreamer who always encourages me.  I usually am the one who shrinks back in fear instead of dreaming big and going for it! Remembering where my identity lies has brought me back to the character of God these last few weeks and who He says I am.  That is important because when all else fades in this life what have I done with it. Have I become who God says I am?

So this year I wrote the goals down and for the last two years as   handmade knits by trAcy has grown I was able to cut back on the hours of outside work and work from home on this business God has built for our family.  I dreamed a long time ago about a business but never wrote it down or worked with God on it until about two years ago.  He gave me the vision and dream of owning my own business and I jumped in and did it.  I didn't know it would touch so many women's lives but it has. You guys send me emails about the seeds planted by wearing your bracelets.  God's Word tethered to your hearts all day which is exactly what I envisioned. That is exactly why I create my hand stamped and knit bracelets. He has shown His strength and faithfulness through my fear and what I saw as weaknesses.  I didn't know I could speak on FB Live Videos and share about Jesus and the gospel. I learned to let God's voice be bigger than the voice of the enemy.  God is truth and Satan is a liar.

He uses me and my knitting to pour out His love. How much more can He use you friend! What talent or tools has He given you to use?  I have learned we need only to look in our hands and see that He provides the rest. You just do the work of serving the kingdom.
Jesus gives us His Word to change us from the inside out and I want to share that and be an out pouring of His grace, mercy and love to other women.

What are your goals this year? What dream do you have for a better woman this year? Are you waiting for perfection because Jesus says come as you are. It is Jesus who does a good work in and through us. Remember that!

Okay, this is probably longer than I thought I would chat about this subject. Please share your thoughts and lets cheer each other on this year!

You can always find me over on the socials too!

Bless you friend!

Dream Big Bracelet in the Shop! 

Grandma's TableCloth

                                                   

Hello Friends!
November is here and Thanksgiving is this week.  I don't have a lot of decorations but there is one special piece of décor I do pull out especially for Thanksgiving dinner. It is a hand embroidered table cloth my Grandma owned and passed to my Mom and now I use it since my family comes to my house for Thanksgiving dinner.  This tablecloth makes me so happy just looking at it and brings back to mind so many Thanksgiving dinners my Grandma use to cook for us. She cooked for hours every year the day before and the day of Thanksgiving along with her Sisters help sometimes when she could. Grandma would be so tired when we arrived for dinner but she always greeted us with a big smile, a soft hug and I love you!  I now know how hard she worked because I have taken over her tradition.
  I could look at all the cooking I have to do this week as a chore but I instead I will look at it with a grateful heart that I can pass my Grandma's hospitality along to my children.  I want them to always know there is a warm meal, hugs and I love you's every Holiday.
I pray you also have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving as well!





Tell me your special memories of Thanksgiving?  I love to hear about how others celebrate holidays too.

Be Blessed!
trAcy
