Everyone has been hard at work, fingers and yarn flying, to finish our first round of shawls. Check out current members projects! :) I hope you're wearing socks...because they're about to get knocked off!
Peggy has been hard at work at this beautiful shawl using some gorgeous Lion Brand Homespun yarn in this beautiful coral color! She has been crocheting for years and is incredibly talented.
She even overcame some minor yarn issues, but is going strong again. Show her some love, this shawl looks so warm and comforting I could get lost in it!

Remember how I said these shawls are therapeutic for both the creator and the receiver? Jan discovered this when she picked up crochet hooks after setting them aside years ago. She crochets while watching (or listening to) the baseball game on TV and while working at her u-pick blueberry farm! She shared that crocheting brought back wonderful memories of crocheting while she traveled the country with her husband while he was serving our country. She's using this variegated yarn to practice her pattern, but oh my gosh do I love the pattern! Shell patterns have always held a special place in my heart, but her work is so neat and exact, I am loving it even more! (Don't let her try to tell you it's a mess, she's a pro!!) I can't wait to see this when it's finished!

Anne is one of our long-distance members who has also felt God's grace while crocheting her shawls. She is currently caring for her elderly mother and works on her shawls while spending time with her mom. What an awesome way to pass the time in a way that both shares the glory of God, and allows her to connect with her mom! She is located on the east coast of Florida and her shawls will be benefiting recipients near her! How cool is it that our message has already made it outside our small community? Way to go Anne!

| Seriously, I'm IN LOVE with this variegated yarn in double crochet! |
And finally, I'm working on a shawl using this technique to create Fair Isle Crochet (to mimic the very popular Fair Isle Knitting). I learned the technique from a Craftsy class and was so excited that the first project was a shawl! The portion shown here will be a pocket, the base of the shawl will be completed in the darker brown color.

I hope you enjoyed these beautiful shawls, we certainly have some SERIOUS talent! I know the shawl recipients will love them even more!
God Bless!
