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.

Happy New Year

Here we are, six days into the new year - 2014! I hope you are all ready to knit and crochet. We have a baby shower this weekend, January 11-12. I have several bags of blankets, little baby hats, booties, etc. to deliver to Cathy McCurry at Newman. I'll be there on Thursday, January 9, for our first meeting of the new year. Hope to see you there.
