THE PRAYER SHAWL COMPANION
Designs for Knitting
For many, the ultimate expression of spirituality is charity. And for years, people have been crafting prayer shawls - knitted wraps to comfort those in times of need and to help celebrate special occasions. Authors Janet Bristow and Victoria Cole-Galo, graduates of the Hartford Seminary's Women's Leadership Institute, are co-founders of the Prayer Shawl Ministry, which is at the heart of a groundswell of charity knitting. The Prayer Shawl Companion presents 38 knitting patterns for all occasions, from baptism to remembrance. The book includes easy, intermediate, and challenging projects for all skill levels. Since knitting itself can be a gloriously spiritual activity, Bristow and Cole-Galo also offer advice on creating a peaceful creative environment and include heartwarming stories to and from shawl recipients. Professional knitwear designers like Kaffe Fassett and Nicky Epstein have donated more than 10 patterns.
