The making of a prayer shawl is a spiritual practice which embodies thoughts and prayers for the receiver. It is a gift freely given with no strings attached. Made in prayer, as prayer, for prayer, the shawls are passed on hand-to-hand and heart-to-heart.

A prayer shawl or blanket embraces the recipient with the unconditional love of the Lord. It is a gift reaching out to those in need of comfort and solace as well as in celebration and joy. Prayer squares are given to those going on mission trips, working for social justice. Many blessings are prayed into every item we make.

In Our Quest for the Best

This morning I came across an excellent article on yarn substitution on the Interweave website, which I thought we could find useful.

So many of Newman's parishioners are so very generous and wish to be of help. They sometimes clean out their closets and pass their stash onto us. That's one reason I felt this article would be of value to us. We don't always know the yarn content, etc. of what is donated.

I hope you knitting ninjas find this as helpful as I did.
