The Prayer Shawl Companion: 38 Knitted Designs to Embrace Inspire & Celebrate Life
For many, the ultimate expression of spirituality is charity. And for years, people have been crafting prayer shawls - knitted wraps to comfort those in times of need and to help others celebrate special occasions. Written by the two women at the heart of this groundswell of charity knitting, The Prayer Shawl Companion presents 38 wondrous wraps for all occasions, from baptism to remembrance.
In her fourth book, Bliss does not disappoint her readers. Instructions follow a gallery of full-color photographs showcasing the more than 25 knitted garments. Intended for the experienced stitcher, directions include graphs and charts, plus both British and U.S. knitting measurements and information. The best features of the book are the unexpected twists in design: for instance, a shawl collar placed on an Aran cardigan, a tartan-patterned baby romper, and aboriginal-like motifs used for a warm pullover.
