It's a WRAP
My dear friend Sister Helene asked if I would make a shawl. A shawl, preferably triangle in shape. I was only too happy to comply, for a couple of reasons. Number one, it is what I do. And secondly, because I simply adore her. My friend happens to be a nun and the head of the religious education department at my parish. In fact, when she approached me, a little over seven years ago, and asked if I would teach a CCD class, I had no choice. For a couple of reasons. One, because I adore her, and well secondly, it was an opportunity to be involved with my parish in a meaningful way. In any case, now that there is a prayer shawl ministry, it is kind of a no brainer that I would, because I could contribute in this way. In my stash, there were 5 skeins of the Berroco's Comfort Chunky that I used to crochet this shawl, which is a house pattern of
Stitch Therapy called the Spider Shawl. How apropos that that the yarn I used has the word “comfort” in its description. It is my hope that it will offer hours of cozy comfort to the recipient.
