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 or 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. This book includes easy, intermediate and challenging patterns for such inspiring creations as "The Calming Shawl, the Friendship Patchwork Shawl and many more. Since knitting can be a gloriously spiritual activity, Bristow and Cole-Galo also offer advice on creating a peaceful creative environment and include heartwarming stories to and from shawl recipients. Professional knitwear designers like Kaffe Fassett and Nicky Epstein have donated more than 10 patterns.
