Positively close-knit

Wed., March 28, 2012

I was pleased to read your article about the prayer shawls being made all over the world. It is so nice to see the positive side of life.

There are prayer shawl groups here in this area. I belong to one at St. Mary’s Church in the Valley. We have been knitting and crocheting for about five years. We make them for hospice as well as for the sick and homebound in our area. There are about 20 women of all ages in our group.

Keep up the good work.
