Crochet. Pray. Love.

I've completed another group of charity projects. I was contacted by a UCF student to make some "prayer shawls" (or "good vibe shawls", depending on your religious persuasion) for a students' class project. The shawls would then be given to a battered women's shelter in Orlando. I decided this would be the perfect project to use up my Grandma P's yarn that my parents gave to me when they were cleaning out her house. Here are the results!

I also received a number of knitted squares in sport weight yarn from a friend at work. She was given the squares by a friend who wanted to have the squares donated to some charity. I took the squares, sewed them together and crocheted a boarder around the edge.

Guess what? More DISHCLOTHS!!

Ok, so I'm totally working on another project. This other "project" has consisted of three separate projects which are currently completed, and one that I just started the other day, and I'm hoping to have it finished by the end of this weekend. I'll post more on that project when the fourth piece is complete.

In the meanwhile, I've made more dishcloths when I needed a break from the other project. Here are the latest:





The interesting thing about these dishcloths is that they were made by using only one skein of kitchen yarn. It is Lily's Sugar 'n Cream Stripes, a self-striping yarn. The top left is "21420 Baby Stripes" color. The top right is "21317 Violet Stripes" color. The bottom is "21705 American Stripes" color.
