I have just started out designing pictures to be knitted on dishcloths, and it was requested that I make a Star of David. I struggled with this for a couple weeks, trying and failing. Then as I was praying one night I clearly saw the pattern and was immediately able to graph it out. I believe it was God who gave me the ability to see this. I am a Christian, but by saying that, I believe I am a Jew by adoption. I believe Jesus was a Jew and I as a Gentile receiving Him became a Jew by adoption.

I am living in Israel right now, and went to a concert of an older folk musician. His name is Schlomo Bar. It was on a settlement called Kadita. A small concert, but a very nice vibe. The stage was set up with this giant star of David hanging over it.

My Mom & I work together to sell handmade stained and fused glass pieces- Mom makes the pieces and I help her to sell them, she made the Star of David as a custom request several years ago, and it has been popular so each year she makes more to sell on her website.

Without this explanation I don't know how many of you could know what we see here...Anyhow it looks cool!
