It is that of one of the young girls on the DTE forum who is making the rug for a charity and crochets a square a day during Lent. Love the colours too.

I think this idea is really special and maybe it could be implemented in our local churches. I might see if anyone at our church have heard of prayer shawls. Think I will go through my stash of wool and have a go!<br /><br />Sorry for my absence all the time. I am trying to get back into the swing of things, and hopefully will do some more blogging soon. My life after a busy summer is slowly settling down. I have so much catching up to do!<br /><br />xTaniaTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-20739112605205272392016-03-22T08:07:04.708+10:002016-03-22T08:07:04.708+10:00Annabel, I can't wait to see what you crochet....Annabel, I can't wait to see what you crochet.

I love it! I love shawls! Thank you so much!<br />I have made and given away a few rugs as gifts in the last couple of years. I have noticed something..when I have given them the people seem to feel really blessed and touched. Like it is really personal and they feel loved. Then the rugs have been loved too I notice.<br />Anyway I really like this and a shawl would be a tender and kind thing for someone... to show love, care, sympathy, comfort... <br />And I was just working out what to crochet next. Now I know.
