I am starting a Prayer Shawl ministry at our church. Anyone out there have such a ministry at their church or are familiar with one? I need tips and ideas. I've bought the book (by Lion Brand yarn) and have found a fabulous website.
Now I'd thought I'd hit THIS fabulous website for some practical advice on starting one...implementing it, etc.
Anyone???
(FYI for those that have never heard of these...and I hadn't before I saw the book...prayer shawls are knit or crocheted for those that need comfort during time of illness, death of loved one, etc. or are celebrating a joyous occasion...birth of a baby, wedding. It's a tangible way to let the receiver know that you are praying for them. Each time to pick up the piece to work on it you pray for the receiver. My mom has a friend whose husband received one while fighting cancer. After he passed, she learned to knit so she could make them for others.)
