The season of Lent concluded Easter Sunday as did this project offering prayer shawls for hospice care ministry.
The challenge using this bulky acrylic/nylon yard from my stash is that all the edges rolled! I am grateful for the knitters who have posted instructions for “blocking” on the web. This solution required some trial and error. These small shawls got straightened out. I will avoid buying bulky yarn in the future.
One more thing! I had this nice “satchel” style bag…marketing material from an exposition. Well…It occurred to me that a large appliqué (from my shower caddie project stash) would cover the advertising. It is just the right size to hold seven folded “blocked” shawls.
Well…I meant two/three more things.
Last month, I was introduced to the pattern for these caps. Two of them now belong to long time friends who are undergoing chemotherapy.
May God bless everyone during these difficult times.
Very nice.
