Over at Random and Odd, there is going to be a wedding on the second Saturday in July.
Kristine wrote in a little statement of Thanks for the shawl I sent to her.
Now that she has seen it first, here’s a picture.
The DMC cotton thread was purchased for 10 (15?)cents a ball at our local Woolworth’s Going Out of Business sale.
What was that? about 9 years ago?
so it has been sitting in a plastic bin behind the couch just waiting for a perfect project to use such nice quality thread. Maybe that qualifies as the Something Old for the bridal superstitions.
The stitch pattern and border are just the same as the Prayer Shawl I did last winter.
The difference between them, besides the colors, is the strands of the cotton thread and the size of the hook. The blue shawl is lighter weight because of the Summer wedding.
The finished measurements are within an inch of each other.
Kristine says she is blessed to be the receiver.
I hope she and her girls have as much fun with using it as I did with the carrying it around and working on it!
~~love and Huggs, Diane
It’s beautiful, Diane.
Believe it or not, I still have the pale yellow and mint green one you made for Felicia and one of these days, I am going to give it to one of my grandchildren – maybe!!!! Happy 4th!
How wonderful. What a blessing you are!
I just had to come over and see Kristine’s shawl. It is beautiful! I can’t think of a better gift to give anyone than one handmade and from the heart.
The shawl is absolutely beautiful and the philosophy behind it is amazing. What a wonderful gift!
It’s even more beautiful in person. It’s on the back of my couch next to all my ‘to the chapel’ stuff is going. It will be placed with all my things.
I love it. I love you! you are fantastic!!
That is absolutely beautiful. I love the color.
The shawl is so beautiful! I had seen something about a prayer shawl before and thought that I would just love to make a gift like that for someone, but my skill level is not very good right now and the opportunity has not come up. Just wanted to say I love the shawl and think it was a great gift.
You did it again Diane. Created something so beautiful that will be an heirloom in someone’s life forever. I envy your talent.
Absolutely beautiful….
Since I’m late to the party, all I can do is echo what the others have said. It’s a beautiful shawl, Diane.
