The hook is flying again ...

Prayer Shawl #2. I wasn't sure of the colors, but told Father that I was using up yarns and that they were bright ... said fine, all colors! This one is just the same stitch ... half double crochet in Caron Simply Soft yarn. I'm thinking I will edge it in a reverse single crochet in the blue ... maybe. Almost half way through.

First Prayer Shawl completed

Finished tonight my first prayer shawl. I used yarn that I had on hand, Red Heart Designer Sport, the color is celadon, a size K hook. Its quite soft.

My girlfriend finished hers today and we will deliver them tomorrow to our parish along with the lapghan. When she finished hers I held it for a few moments and said a few prayers, she will bless mine tomorrow. I believe that the person who will receive them will know the love, prayers and thoughts that were put into them.

In making these, although an easy pattern, we both found that several times we needed to rip out many inches and re-do. Re-dos can cause frustration, however, we never experienced this in doing these. I think we also have been given a blessing in the making of these. Its hard to put into words, but there a kind of peace in doing these. We will continue making them.

Lapghan completed ... shawl started

The first of hopefully many lapghans is completed. Its 43 inches wide. They're a fun pattern to work on and go up rather quickly. For this I used what yarn I had on hand. Will be looking for some vibrant, happy colors. In any case, they are made with love and prayers. I hope that whoever receives these gets as much comfort from these as I get pleasure in making them.











The shawl is called Cozy Comfort Prayer Shawl.
The size will be 20 x 60 inches. This is the first time I've used this pattern, it is very easy and very pretty. Would make a lovely blanket as well.
