I mentioned in a previous post that some women at my church were starting up a Prayer Shawl Ministry.
We have been meeting weekly, and I am amazed at the speed in which we have generated several shawls to be given out. Some of the women have knit or crocheted a couple or more shawls already in the time it has taken me to complete my first one.
Turns out that it is kind of hard to get a picture of a shawl without having it on a model. (I promise that it is really a nice straight rectangular shape.)
When we finish a shawl, we wrap it up in a cellophane bag and tie it with a pretty ribbon. Here are the ones that were finished last week.
We have a nice mix of women from the area and I have enjoyed getting the chance to know them.
It's beautiful - I love that sort of basket weave stitch (I'm not a knitter, so I don't know the name for it) but it's really effective. xCathy
