If you want to crochet/knit for Charity, here’s a good Charity Drive going on this month:
https://www.allfreecrochet.com/Crochet-for-Charity/Prayer-Shawls-Rush-Charity-AFC
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.
When Is the Charity Drive?
The 2019 Charity Shawl Drive will take place November 1st through December 1st.
SEE LINK FOR REQUIREMENTS, MAILING ADDRESS, ADDITIONAL INFO INCLUDING SOME PATTERNS!

Personal note on prayer shawls/wraps (even 1 prayer afghan):
I have made 24 prayer shawls, 23 for family/friends & one that was donated to my church last month. When people are hurting, grieving, ill, or need a ‘warm hug’ for some reason, a prayer shawl/wrap is a great way to let them know you care & are thinking about them/praying for them. The comments and thanks I get when I gift a shawl, and how much it obviously means to people to get something tangible, makes every stitch worthwhile.
Please add me to your ping list! I live on an alpaca farm and I love working with their fiber.
I’m getting back into weaving again with a Cricket ridged heddle loom. Any other weavers out there.
I’m also taken with loom knitting as it’s easier on my hands since Arthur It is decided to move last year.
Please add me. I have been hand-knitting since I was about 7 years old.
Current project is a top-down sweater in burgandy wool with white speckles.
Please add me to the list. Thanks!
Funny. Thanks.
She’s great!
And Joann’s does have a smell. But the greatest-smelling stores I’ve been in were the Laura Ashley shops back in the 1980s - all of that beautiful, fine cotton smelled marvelous.
What a nice idea. Please add me to the ping list.
Added you! :)
