I am so excited to be working on this shawl ( pattern on Ravelry)! For one thing, it is my first attempt at lace work.

Simple lace work, but great for a first lace project. For another thing, I actually started this shawl last year. No, I have not been procrastinating, but I have been moving countries, then running out of the yarn and having to have some more custom dyed and then sent over to me in England. So it has quite a little story to it.
This shawl is purposed for my dear Step-mother. My dad was tragically killed last year May, and this shawl is my 'prayer shawl' for her. Have you heard of prayer shawls? If you click on the link you can read all about it. But basically, as you knit the shawl you pray for the person it is for. I think that this is such a beautiful ministry and such a personal way to keep the person you are knitting for lifted up in prayer.
The book that you see in the picture is titled 'Warm Fuzzies'. I found it on the shelves of my library and am thinking that it is a must have for my own personal library! It is full of wonderful ideas using old jumpers that you find in thrift stores and then felt at home. The ideas are fun, fresh and exciting. My crafty 'To Do' list has just grown considerably!
