Here I am knitting. Hopefully I wil get this. prayer shawl finished, well
before my friend dies. My friend Bonnie has lung cancer. Last year she
gave me her mother's knitting needles. A great big role of needles. For
those of you who know me, well, knitting is just not as fun as crochet. So
I took our knitting class and the teacher deserves two pay raises for her
patience with me. So back to Bonnie. I woke up and had this wonderful
idea. I would make Bonnie a prayer shawl using her mother's knitting
needles. So here I am knitting away.
I have a cone of happy bright mint green yarn and that is what I am using
for the prayer shawl.
Since I still need help with cast on, I just crocheted my base row. I make
it around thirty six inches. So how wide will my piece be? Shockingly my
stitches are pretty darn even on this probably J hook wooden needles.
Oh hey rooky mistake, shy smile. I used an N hook to make my base row.
Oopse. I just noticed that. I just reached in the role and pulled out a well
used pair of needles, assuming her mother had used them.
Ok, your evaluation of my questions and mistakes.
Becky and Jake
