Prayer Shawl Ministry Resumes! January 11th

    Join us Wednesday, January 11, 2023, from 6-8 p.m. in the Library for lots of fun and fellowship as we restart this wonderful ministry! Both experienced and beginners are welcome!
    Regular weekly meetings will be held in the new year on Wednesdays from 6-8 p.m. in the Library beginning on January 11th. Everyone is welcome to enjoy fellowship as you knit or crochet these shawls covered in your love and prayers.
    Please do not be intimidated if you think you cannot knit or crochet! Just join us, and we will be happy to help you learn the basics – and then we can then move on to more intricate patterns if anyone chooses to. We will have very easy patterns to follow, and several shawls as examples for you to look over. The supplies you will need are very few... just knitting needles or crochet hooks and three skeins of yarn in the color of your choice. The size of the needles/hooks will determine the size of shawl you want to make. The normal size to begin with knitting needles would be a "9" and crochet hook would be a "J." The yarn type is really up to you. A good choice to begin with is Lion Brand Homespun (it is a little chunky and hides any little errors). And, the most important advice we can give you is for you to give yourself permission to make errors, because we all do!
    For more information about the meetings, or if you would like a shawl (for yourself or to give to someone else), please contact Jeanie at jeanielescallett@gmail.com.
