[Nfb-krafters-korner] loom knit prayer shawl finally completed

[Cathy Flesher]

Hello all,

 

I am so excited and proud to let my friends on KK know that after a year of
looming, I have finally completed a five-foot prayer shawl for my daughter.
it turned out beautifully. I used a long variegated colored homespun yarn in
shades of blue, red and gold. I used the ½ gauge Cindwood loom for the
project and knit in the trinity stitch pattern. The pattern of three knit, 3
purl, is a representation of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I got the pattern
from a needle knit prayer shawl class taught by Dixie last year.

 

My daughter is just so excited that her shawl is finally ready for her to
wear. Although it is actually too hot to wear a shawl right now, she will
use it in her air-conditioned apartment in a special place she has set aside
to pray.

 

I hope to soon have a picture of my daughter wearing the shawl to place on
our website to help promote our division. It will help demonstrate to all
that blind folks can and do make beautifully hand-crafted items.

 

Now on to my next project.
