Prayer Shawl for Kathy C

By -

Kathy C is a dear friend.  
She lost her brother tragically recently. 
A few of us knit her this prayer shawl. 
It is knit in ribbed Homespun.
The yarn is a soft as silk and it will be loved for years to come. 
Kathy C. We love you and we know,  Y'all are
doing so well.    We know though that those days that hurt, hurt bad and we wanted you to have this. 

On a lighter note, 
Fireman taught another spin class last night.
After the class someone came up to him and said,  
"I'm so hungry I'm going to go home and eat two egg whites."
That's why I don't do spin class…..

Beautiful shawl! I have one like it and I love it. It's given me lots of comfort in times of trouble.
As for those egg whites-yuck. It's a waste of a perfectly good egg.

Of course Fireman told that person to have two whole eggs because it has been in the news this week that eggs, butter and sugar are good for us!!

I will be praying for Kathy C and her family. The shawl is beautiful and such a lovely, warm gift.

I am so sorry for your friend's loss. I will keep her and her family in my prayers.


As for the egg whites --- really????I don't think I have EVER craved egg whites unless they were topping a lemon meringue pie. LOL

So sweet of you and your friends to gift Kathy C this beautiful shawl... I know it will bring her comfort.

Okay... now, this is going to blow the Fireman's mind... but, I was thinking, "WOW, he spins... Kathy has her own supply of handspun!" LOL! THEN the egg whites finally rang the bell! LOL! You know where my mind is. LOL! All about the yarn. LOL! blessings ~ tanna

I did a double take just like Tanna, but then I realized the kind of spinning you meant. Kathy C will love her shawl; Homespun is great!

What a lovely gift.
I used to help with the prayer shawls at a church near by. I still make them. gave one to my mother when she was going through the two aortic dissections she had in 2012 and then to my sister who recently had a baby and a bit of complications.

When my mother was in the OR undergoing the second dissection my father had her shawl around him as we waited in the waiting room at Evanston.

I remembered you saying Fireman cycled to work, just as the spinning wheel image started to pop into my head, too.

The shawl will surround Kathy C with the love of her friends. She will truly treasure those hugs on the difficult days to come.

Prayers abound for your friend and her family.

I think I heard that McDonald's is now offering an eggwhite sammie for breakfast.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
