The New Prayer Shawl Companion

Look what just arrived in the mail:

 Woohoo! It's Taunton's latest addition to their Prayer Shawl Companion books, The New Prayer Shawl Companion.

My design, the Good Luck Horseshoe Shawl, is on page 115.

Long-time blog readers may remember that shawl, which was a KAL here. Here I'm modeling the same shawl.

There are some really beautiful shawl patterns in this new book, geared to knitters of all levels. And as always with Taunton, the photos and presentation are gorgeous. The proceeds from this book go to the Prayer Shawl Ministry, which is a very good cause. I'm proud to have been part of all three of the Prayer Shawl books.

The Crocheted Prayer Shawl Companion

I don't crochet often, but I jumped at the chance to contribute a shawl to Taunton's new The Crocheted Prayer Shawl Companion, edited by Janet Bristow and Victoria A. Cole-Gallo, the founders of the Prayer Shawl Ministry. I got my contributor copies a week ago or so, and though it's not slated for release for another week, I see that Amazon has it in stock.

As with The Prayer Shawl Companion, this new book is full of beautiful shawls, each with an uplifting story, and an accompanying blessing or prayer.

My design is dedicated to my daughter-in-law Genevieve.

I am honored to be included in this lovely book.
