Working on 3 Shawls
Hi there,
I have been in class and several other projects during the last 2 weeks. To make things even more hecticc, my yarn-loving kitty (Chonda) sat on my first shawl and pulled out a couple of stitches while getting comfortable. I had left my project on my bed while going to the hairdresser, something I will never do again.
I am also working 2 shawls in 2 totally different color schemes, designs, and yarns. I am going to have lots of time between now and the end of the year to work on them and am hoping to have them finished to be received at Christmastime.
I hope after the first of the year as many of you as possible can have a meeting here at the library at Grace Living Center; quite a nice area with lovely furniture which is quite comfortable and provides lots of sitting space.
As I don't travel well on a regular basis this is about the best place for me to be able to meet all of you, though I understand it may take a while to meet ALL of you. I am definitely looking forward to it, however.
I wish all of you a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving.
Blessings,
Vicky

A Few of Our Members
Robbi works out the dimensions for her prayer shawl. Nice colors!
Katie's needles fly as she gets close to finishing her shawl.
Shirley helps Jeanne with her newest obsession - knitting!
Ann and Shirley just being their naturally cute selves.
These are just a few of our members - those who happened to be there the same time the camera was. We'll be sharing more pretty faces and works later.

First Shawl Blessing
Today we had a truly awesome service with Bishop Ed visiting. There were four baptisms, two confirmations and a confirmation renewal. Wow! Not only that, but the CC Yarnsters offered their first prayer shawls for blessings and distribution. Everyone who saw them "up close and personal" oohed and aahed over them.
Katie and Alene were the authors of the first shawls. Father Rick blessed them at the altar and two of them will be placed in the chapels for use with prayer. Alene knitted beautiful white baptismal shawls that we'll hear more about next week. Thank you ladies for your beautiful work.
Each day I see and hear more about what a blessing our group is. It certainly is for me - it's such a a gift to get to know each of you better.
