Knitting............

Pictures of prayer shawls made this year........

I made these earlier this year but was unable to post them a while ago.  Trying again.......

I used yarn from the stash at the church for our group.  Fun to make and it used up lots of leftovers.

 

The green variegated yarn shawl was made with yarn that I had on hand.

 The blue shawl is made from yarn I found on sale!

 The off white crochet is from my own stash as well as the yellow one below.

 

Finally, I was able to post these pictures!

 

 

Most recent prayer shawl

A close friend recently was found to have breast cancer mets to the brain requiring surgery and gamma knife treatments.  I decided to make her a prayer shawl.  Its in the mail now and I hope she enjoys this shawl and that it brings her a lot of comfort.

Prayer Shawl update........Oct 3rd.......

This morning, I attended the first fall gathering of the Prayer Shawl Ministry.  There were three new ladies in attendance....actually we had quite a turn-out.  Its always fun chatting with the friends I've made.  Today, I dropped off three prayer shawls.....a wine colored 3 corner shawl, a pink and white rectangular shawl and one which was left over from late spring which I finished over the summer....it was with a green variegated yarn by Vanna (Lion brand) which was also rectangular and I had added rows of black yarn between the green and also around the edges of the whole piece.

Today, I worked on a navy blue crochet shawl which I just began.

Although I took pictures of the shawls, I still am unable to post photos online since getting a new computer in early Sept.  Hopefully, I will get this problem solved soon!

Projects & weather

Hello....... now that its mid-September, the weather is cooler, especially at night as its easier to get a good night's sleep without the AC and with the windows open.

Since I got my new computer last week, I've been unable to load my digital camera software so that I can post pictures.  Hopefully, I can accomplish that soon!

I have finished the two unfinished prayer shawls that I began in the spring session of the Prayer Shawl ministry.  Also, made another triangular one.  I just started a new shawl that I'll be mailing to S.C. to a friend who recently had surgery.

Hope you have a great weekend!

How did we get to August already?!!!

Nothing much to post about.  The only knitting I've done over the past two months has been cotton dishcloths.  The weather has been too hot and muggy to knit with yarn that my hands will stick to.  I still have two unfinished prayer shawls!  Not what I'd plan to do, but it couldn't be helped.  I do plan to finish these two within the next couple weeks, so I can turn them in and begin another.  Our Prayer Shawl Ministry doesn't meet again until October, but I want to get back in the "groove".

Hope you have a nice weekend!

Hot, hot, hot!

I continue knitting cotton dishcloths, as before as it is quite hot yet and will be for a while according to recent weather reports.   When it does finally cool off, I'll finish off two prayer shawls.

During the day, I've been working on a quilt.  No pictures as of yet.

Hope you enjoy your summer and keep cool!
