Knitters Tarot Tuesday

Ten of Cups   This is one of the most peaceful cards of the deck. The ten cups arranged in a rainbow, the happy couple beneath and the children playing. It represents peace, harmony, fulfillment, joy. The house is surrounded by trees and a stream, also a sign of prosperity. This is only cup card in which the cups are not supported by material means.

Then find a bead with a hole big enough to put the tie through, to use to close it. (this was the hardest part, finding a bead with the right size hole) Knot the ends together on the tie, and fill with change. Here are some more crocheted baskets.

Knitter's Tarot Tuesday Reading...

Knitting Tarot card for this week...   The Ten of Swords Represents being "pinned down", and helplessness, the dark clouds, a bleak situation, this card is the most grim card in the deck. However the golden sky in the distance signifies a brighter horizon. This week, perhaps we should lay our knitting aside and meditation on any difficulties you are having. Until the knitting clouds blow over.   The Tarot is a deck of cards that originated over 500 years ago in northern Italy.
