I've been working on more new spinning. I'm working on a new fiber I've never spun before. It's Polwarth, and beautiful!!!! It's like spinning butter. I also have been working in tufts of angora (Bunny Fur ) as I go. What will I make???? A prayer shawl. I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I have a friend who is hosting a workshop in December on knitting prayer shawls. She has several patterns. The idea is to knit one for some one who needs comfort in some way. They may have a health issue or just daily struggles with life.
I really love the idea. I decided to spin my fiber for this project and pray as I spin. It feels so peaceful as I work. I'm not sure who will receive the shawl, but its cool to think about how much love will be put into the fibers.
Sweet Summer Time!

Okay, now you are really a woman after my own heart. Prayer shawl knitting is something I too enjoy doing. It has brought such fulfillment. I can't wait to see the shawls you make. Sometimes I feel the need to start one and don't even know who it will go to, but then the person appears.
