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.
