Prayer Shawl (and, oops, some knitting)

[Amy]

Here is my latest completed Prayer Shawl for the ministry at my church, using Lion Brand Home Spun in Barrington (I think):

 

 

Also, here are some socks I've been working on. Details about them in my blog.

oh very nice!! I've often thought of putting forth the idea at my church about starting a shawl ministry (I attend a large church, and thought SURELY i'm not the only one who yarn crafts), but it seems I always have so many other projects on the hooks that I'm afraid I wouldn't have time to devote to it. I love the color too Good job!!!

 

Also, a pat on the back to you and everyone else who uses Homespun. I've tried and tried, utilizing various hook sizes too, and usually end up throwing it down. I just can't seem to adopt a love for this yarn, and I wish I could, because the projets its made with are always so nice, and it has such a lovely feel and drape to it.

Amy: I LOVE Barrinton!! In fact, I made that very shawl with that very color for a lady at church who has breast cancer!!! It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! I'm sure the recipient of it is going to love it sooo much!! And those socks, wow!! They look comfy...I hope I can get the 4-needle thing down, myself!! :cheer:clap:clap:cheer:cheer

That's a beautiful shawl. That colour is so soothing.

 

I appreciate things made with pointy sticks just not those things It's a personal thing with me and socks - yours look lovely.

 

I too tried to get a shawl ministry started but that church was too small and I was the only real knit/crocheter in the bunch...sigh

 

But I carry on anyway.

I too tried to get a crochet/knit group started at church, but apparently I am the only one who does such things. So I too carry on with my own charity projects...

 

Love the shawl color!! And the socks are just so cool. Very nice work.

Cool shawl....looks snuggly.

Those socks look snuggly too. My feet have been snuggled in crocheted slippers trying to stay warm.
