 prayer shawls October 24, 2008
This is a very useful book for those knitters who want to knit prayer shawls or anyone who needs a beginning book for knitters who want to knit something easy to understand.
Acts 19:11-12 August 2, 2008
I discovered this book 3 years ago when shopping at Hobby Lobby. I took it home, laid it aside for a year and then picked it up and began my own personal Prayer Shawl ministry. Now having introduced it to a group of ladies in our church, we just logged our 85th shawl, not counting the individual ones not logged. We have a notebook full of cards, letters, emails and verbal comments about what the recipent felt about receiving their shawl and what it meant to them. We find it the very best book to start with if you want to begin a Prayer Shawl ministry. A company in another state liked what we were doing and made free labels for us to sew inside identifying what church we come from and the scripture we like to use. Try it. You'll love it!
Glad I bought the book. July 24, 2008
I ran into this book at a craft store and was so glad I did! I had never heard of the prayer shawl ministry and if I hadn't ran into this book I might not have. I don't knit, just crochet. The patterns are easy to follow and there are great pictures. I've read some of the negative reviews on this. I can understand why people would be upset if credit was not given if due. But I would hope that instead of being upset..forgive..and be thankful that the prayer shawl ministry will grow and touch many more lives because of it.
Prayer Shawl Ministry May 23, 2008
Great resource book. I'm new to making prayer shawls and knitting. This book has prayers taken from several sources, gives information on choosing colors of yarn and has a number of patterns for both knitting and crochet. The book is by Lion Brand, and they have pictures of their yarn colors with the color name and number for reference. I went looking and found one of their yarns in a local store and it looked just like the picture.
Nice Introduction to Prayer Shawl Ministries or Shawl Patterns March 25, 2008
This booklet is a very nice introduction to the concept of prayer shawl ministries, well documented with stories of actual groups making shawls and circumstances where they have been given to someone. If you're not into the "ministry" part of it, this is still a great booklet since the shawls are nicely pictured and instructions are clear. After all, a shawl is a shawl is a shawl. The "prayer" part is optional, in my opinion.
