February 1012. A Prayer Shawl. For this shawl I used Lion Brand Homespun yarn and a pattern I found on the Lion Brand web site. I am not 100 % satisfied with the yarn, it could be rather tricky to work with and may have snarls in the string. All the fringe ends have to be knotted - something I learned long time ago when I first used Homespun. Despite all the short comings listed, I would still go back to the same pattern and same yarn. Mainly because the color(s) are breathtakingly beautiful and the shawl is so incredibly comfortable to wear.
