My friend and co-worker Lisa is going through a really tough time right now. Her house burned down about a month ago and she lost everything including her pets. She had insurance but now she is going through the process of having to make a list of everything she had in her house, when she bought each thing and how much it was. I can't imagine having to do that, I couldn't write down everything in my sewing room, let alone in my entire house. She is a quilter and had recently gotten a new sewing and embroidery machine and luckily she was able to contact the company and get a copy of the receipt so at least it will be easily replaced. I've been reading about knitted prayer shawls and started teaching myself how to knit so I could make some. In the meantime I found some patterns for crocheted shawls and made one for Lisa that I'll give her next week. My crochet and pattern reading skills are rusty since I haven't done any crocheting for some years so I picked a simple pattern and made it with an angora blend in sage green (green is her favorite color). I hope she likes it and knows how many people are praying for her when she wears it.
How tragic for her! She will love that shawl, as it is so pretty!
