I was wondering if this pattern curled or if it would lay flat since the purl and knit stitches are mixed in each row. It looks so beautiful and admire your ministry. Thank you for sharing the pattern.

I am new to Ravelry but not to prayer shawls. I&#39;ve been working on my first prayer shawl for over a year! Now it&#39;s my first challenge (to finish it) and I&#39;m so happy to find the instructions already here. Blessings to you!Nancy Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742622435673200990[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-68748972832462657292016-04-14T14:58:49.371-04:002016-04-14T14:58:49.371-04:00Lisa - I have never heard of this, although when I am making food or anything for people close to me I always feel that I include my love. I hold them close to me in my thoughts and although this is not really a religious thing for me it is a type of silent communion. Thank you for all the touching links and sharing your beautiful work.

I&#39;ve gifted all the prayer shawls I&#39;ve ever made. Some have gone to family and friends who have since lost their courageous battles with cancer.... others to ones who may have been going through a hard time.... and this soft lavender purple shawl was made with great love for my oldest daughter who I do not get to see often as she lives out-of-state. I hope feels a &#39;hug&#39; from her mother through this prayer shawl.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-48308495652396403492015-01-16T22:59:53.309-05:002015-01-16T22:59:53.309-05:00Do you make these to sell?

I&#39;ve been involved with family and apologize for the tardiness of my reply to your comment.<br /><br />First of all, &#39;thank you&#39; for your sweet compliment and to answer your question &quot;is it difficult to work with 87 stitches cast onto one needle&quot;...I don&#39;t think so. In fact, I prefer straight needles over circular needles. Do cast on loose stitches, that just makes it easier to get started. I&#39;ve recently finished an even wider prayer shawl than this one with 99 stitches on my straight needles and it worked up fine too.<br /> <br />You are right as this would be a great project for a new knitter as it would give you lots of practice with the knit and purl stitches. It is also very forgiving, so if you make a mistake, don&#39;t fret as you&#39;ll probably be the only one who&#39;ll know!<br /><br />Thank you so much for stopping by and dropping a note. You&#39;ve asked a very good question and I will follow up with a post on the subject soon as there are probably others who might wonder the same.<br /><br />Good Luck and let me know how it goes! <br />~LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-33728717321230780352012-04-14T15:59:40.380-04:002012-04-14T15:59:40.380-04:00Hi! I am new to knitting and this looks like a great project for me. It is lovely. My question: Is it difficult to work with 87 stitches cast onto one needle -- in other words, does it seem &quot;tight&quot;? I haven&#39;t worked on anything this wide yet -- only scarves! Thank you.Elizabeth[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-62473388389168562722012-02-03T09:02:38.057-05:002012-02-03T09:02:38.057-05:00Lynne ~ thank you!
