Outreach through yarn?

April 21, 2014
Care and the love of knitting (and crochet) have been combined into a prayerful ministry that reaches out to 
those in need of comfort and solace. The knitter begins each shawl with prayers for the recipient. Intentions are continued throughout the creation of the shawl.
