Yesterday I finished giving the second crochet class at one of our local hospitals. What a great way to spend an afternoon -- we had 10 at the first class and 12 at the second. I am so looking forward to seeing the completed prayer shawls these wonderful woman are creating. These all will be for distribution to patients and family of patients -- this particular class was made up of women donating their time for the comfort and pleasure of others -- what a wonderful group of people. My friend since kindergarten ( for those of you counting, LOL, that is 70 years since kindergarten) Barb and I work well together and the classes really went quite well. Hope to post photos of the ladies completed shawls in the coming month. We have received donations of yarn -- we use the Lion Brand Homespun yarn -- and each shawl takes 3 skeins so yarn donations are appreciated -- another woman who had received a shawl for comfort when her husband passed away -- gave a large cash donation to purchase yarn so others could share the wonderful experience of feeling a warm, soft, comforting -- shawl -- each shawl is made with so much love and a prayer that who ever receives it will be comforted just feeling the shawl wrapped around their shoulders.

My dear friend, Lynn, in San Diego has sent 9 skeins of Lion Homespun Yarn --- enough for three full size shawls. Thank you, thank you, Lynn -- this will help so very much. We all thank you ;-)
