"Tried this craft? What did you think?"

"Would love to try this but I don't see how many skeins of yarn we need. Did I miss this?"

"Link broken, does not take you to the pattern. Amazing work! Would be an heirloom gift."

"The pattern is correct. Row 7 is worked in dark green, then row 8 is worked in the light green, as used in row 6. The photo appears to show openwork, but if you look carefully, its an optical illusion, as the light green tr stitches in row 8 are worked in front of the dark green dc stitches in row 7. I hope that makes sense and helps a little"

"The link for this pattern is no good. It states that permission is denied. Must be 'invited' only."

OUR MISSION

By crocheting or knitting a prayer shawl for someone in need, you will be helping provide a bit of comfort to those who need it most. The shawls provide patients with warmth and a comforting embrace during difficult times. It lets them know that someone cares and it gives them hope of recovery and peace.

Something so simple can be the brightest thing that has happened to the patient in some time, as many have often driven from great distances for treatment and have nothing comforting from home with them.

That's where you come in, knitters and crocheters!

We need your help in providing patients at Rush with knit and crochet prayer shawls. Whether you work up a quick and simple one-color shawl or channel all the brightness of a rainbow into your design, think warm thoughts of peace and hope while you do it. Once you finish your design, send it over to us! We'll be collecting all of your knit and crochet shawls to donate.
