WOYWW#650 - Biblical Hebrew & Angels

Oh my, this week has taken a bit of a turn....not quite sure what happened, but I have dug deep into learning Biblical Hebrew! 

It's been mulling in the background for some years and I was led to a study plan on the YouVersion Bible App called Three Words From The Creation - Biblical Hebrew and Your Life. 

It contained a web link (which didn't work btw) but this inspired me to look some more and there is a wealth of stuff on YouTube and the Web so I got stuck in.

I posted this on Facebook last Thursday so that's when this all got started. 

NOTE:-  I have also been following the angel crochet pattern Jan kindly shared last week too. If I even get around to making any Christmas cards thought I might pop one in.

Made a blue one for my son on request, and another 2 white ones since my first too. 

My main reason for trying them in the first place was to test out my right hand to see if the Carpal Tunnel Surgery has worked, and pleased to say it passed the test no problem. 

My left hand only went a bit tingly on one angel, but left hand only does the "holding" rather than the "doing" so that was OK. Not sure at this stage whether I'd ever have the left one done as well as I am still struggling with a few things. 

My right hand is certainly NOT fully functional yet at 8 weeks. The scar on my palm is still very sore and tight and I cannot extend my wrist or thumb very well. My wrist continues to hurt mainly when handwriting which is a bind with the Hebrew Script. Seeing my Hand Therapist again on Thursday.

But I can CROCHET again - Yippee!!!

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

    I recognise those angels, lol! They look really pretty and are simple to do aren’t they (I can’t do hard crochet so it has to be easy for me, lol) Funnily enough, I’ve done some in blue and pink and they’re pretty too, they’ll be put down the harbour for the yarnbombing. I’m glad your wrists stood up to the crochet.

    So glad your hand passed the crochet test - that's great news. The angels are so sweet and will make lovely little additions to your Christmas cards. Good luck at your hand therapist - hope it all goes well for you.

    It’s a Scar, BJ, not intended to be loose and malleable, more protective and covering, so be patient. I should consider it done and stop counting, it makes the healing time seem interminable and it hasn’t been, honestly. I saw on Facebook that you’d smacked it against the tap…oh I remember the pain from those door of accidents, it does improve and then it’s so normal that you didn’t even notice when it got to being normal! I’ve had gastric surgery so despite being very impatient, am happy to feel that it’s only taken a Fortnite to start feeling human again, it was a bigger op than I thought. Well done on the Hebrew, learning any other language always reveals things that we just can’t translate well, I suspect that this original language will be stunning in its revelation!

    Lovely angels BJ but do take it easy after your surgery. Cool strips can help if your hand is painful.
    I sometimes find that it's the holding hand that complains when I'm crocheting, from keeping the yarn under tension.
    I like learning languages, it's a good brain exercise. I'm currently learning Welsh with the Duolingo app.
    Have a good week

    Good luck with the Hebrew, my DH studied it as part of his degree. I had a look and found it really interesting . . .
    Love the angels.

    The angels are gorgeous and good to know that your hand is recovered enough to allow you to crochet. I've seen your photos on Facebook showing your progress and hopefully your hand will continue to get better in time. I'm so impressed with your study of Biblical Hebrew ... I found Latin difficult enough. Sorry to be so late. Hugs, Elizabeth x #24
