Here is a picture of my most recently completed prayer shawl. This is probably my favorite prayer shawl that I've done. I think the colors worked out really well together. I used LionBrand Homespun in Russett. I also used a novelty yarn in a beige color that I got on sale at Michaels. I can't remember the name but it is absolutely WONDERFUL! It's regularly $5.00 for 50 grams which is a splurge for me. Anyway, I bought a couple of random skeins of this when I saw it on sale with NO IDEA what I was going to do with it. I decided since it wasn't really enough to make a scarf that I would use it to accent my prayer shawls. I love it.

f you aren't familiar with the Prayer Shawl Ministry I suggest checking out their website at http://www.shawlministry.com/ . I have found this to be the perfect way for me to minister to others in need. I'm very reserved and quiet. I don't like a lot of attention. This ministry allows me to spend time alone in prayer for someone while crocheting. Then, I either deliever the shawl and a card to the recipient myself or have someone else deliever it for me. You can give a PS to anyone for any occasion, really. PS are most commonly given to those who are sick, expecting surgery, in pain, or someone who has experienced a death in the family. They are also given to nursing home residents and taken to hospitals and cancer facilities. You can also use PS for joyous occasions such as the birth of a new baby, adoption, or graduation. Check the ministry out and if you don't have one at your place of worship, why not start one? Or you can be a Prayer Shawl Ministry of One and donate to other prayer shawl ministries or to your local Hospice. The possibilities are endless and so are the blessings that you'll receive.
