the first of many

i hope.

i'd like to post more knitting work here but i haven't. oh wait this is the first thing of worked on since launching this blog. well alright i don't feel bad then.

so here, this is a shawl/lap blanket type thing i've been working on. it's official title is a prayer shawl. i meant to look up the term prayer shawl to see what makes it a prayer shawl but i forgot to. perhaps i'll do that now. please hold................................................

hmmmm..................................................................................................................................................

well......................................................

alright from what i can tell when the prayer shawl is made you actually say a prayer or something spiritual at the start and then you gift it to some one with a prayer or blessing or something spiritual when you're done. if i didn't say anything at the start and i'm keeping it for myself is it still a prayer shawl? this i don't know. but it's what i'm making. next time i make one i will do it right. cause i'm thinking one would look good in jens room made in colors to compliment her bed decor and my aunt might like one too.

here's a look:

it's a nice size. had i been thinking i would have put my phone or my dog next to it to use as scale. next update i will. when it's done it will be four times longer. and really soft. i'm enjoying the yarn i'm using.

one skein down. three to go.

the end!
