I was cruising around the web looking for knitting yarn, patterns, etc. when I came across this site...

Shawl Ministry Home Page

...and thought I'd pass it along, to say "thank you" for whoever it was a while back that posted the site for making rosaries for our troops. I hope my fellow "knit-wits" FReepers enjoy it. :o)

From the site's front page:

"Shawls ... made for centuries universal and embracing,

symbolic of an inclusive, unconditionally loving, God.

They wrap, enfold, comfort, cover, give solace,

mother, hug, shelter and beautify.

Those who have received these shawls have been

uplifted and affirmed, as if given wings to

fly above their troubles…”

Oooh, I sense a new crochet project on the horizon...

This would be a cool gift to make for Preemies and their moms!
