Book Description
GARMENTS OF PRAISE A handbook of embroidered knitting The craft of knitting is devoted to making useful things, especially clothing. The craft of embroidery is devoted to making useful things beautiful. Garments of Praise brings these two crafts together. Anna Zilboorg begins with richly textured knit fabrics then adds embroidery for emphasis, color, detail, and even sheen. A little embroidery can make a big difference in how a knitting pattern reads. Watch the magic appear when knit fabric and embroidery are integrated. A craft is about process. Here, explore the combinations with a baker's dozen of embroidery stitches and a library of over 50 textured knit patterns. Swatches-- photographed both as they come off the knitting needles and after embroidery is added-- clearly show the transformations and provide springboards for further experimentation. Stitch basics and step-by-step illustrations help a novice learn the simple motions, try variations, and add a contrasting color. Since a knit pattern forms the grid, counting for placement of the embroidery stitches is minimal. Besides suggestions for color and type of threads to use, Anna's cogent comments identify where a knit stitch may require special attention and adjustments to make the embroidery steps easier. Since observing what doesn't work is also a crucial part of any design process, Anna discusses stitches considered, sampled, and rejected, and describes the best method of removing embroidery stitches. A craft is also about product. The 18 full patterns in this book are all basic shapes--a few with innovative, join-as-you-go construction. These classic embroidered garments are destined to be modern heirlooms.

Book Description
This translation stems from 30 years of dedication. The source of this translation is the BYZ (Majority Text). We have included variant readings from the Textus Receptus. A better understanding of typing skills is employed to highlight grammar nuances: underlining is used to show the main thought of the writer, bold to emphasize the first word in the sentence, and italics to indicate words not present in the Greek text but are added for better reading. Words in parentheses (brackets) denote prepositions in the Greek text. When referring to God, Christ, or the Holy Spirit, pronouns will be capitalized. While Greek is a participle-rich language, this translation will provide only one usage, but the notes will mention other possible translations to offer further alternatives. Nouns and adjectives: Nominatives serve as subjects of the verbs; genitives indicate possession by other nouns; datives function as indirect objects of the verb; and accusatives are direct objects. These are standard interpretations, though exceptions exist as in all languages. Second-person personal pronouns: 'You' (you) when used as the subject corresponds to 'you (singular) and '%you' (plural). For possession, 'your' (singular) and '%your' (plural) are used. As direct objects, 'you' (singular) and '%you' (plural) are employed. Verbs: Greek grammar features six tenses: Present (is doing), Imperfect (was doing), Aorist (which in the notes indicates the past – did), Perfect (have done), Pluperfect (had done), and Future (will/shall do). There are six moods: Indicative (normal), Participle (present: doing; aorist: having done, also future and perfect), Infinitive (present: to be doing; aorist: to have done), Imperative (present: keep doing or stop doing; aorist: do or do not), Subjunctive (present: may do; aorist: might do), and Optative (may do with wishful thinking). Three voices are present: Active, Middle, and Passive. Given Greek's affinity for participles, it's beneficial to grasp their syntactical uses. PARTICIPLES: Time (while: with the present tense; after: with the aorist tense), Means, Manner, Purpose, Result, Cause (because), Concession (although), Substantive, Attendant Circumstance (and), Periphrastic Participle, Indirect Discourse, Adjectival Participle, Redundant (Appositional) Absolute, Genitive Absolute / Nominative Absolute, and Imperatival. INFINITIVES: Complementary, Purpose, Result, Causal, Time, Subject, Indirect Discourse, Appositional, Direct Object, and Imperatival.
