I knit a Prayer Shawl for my Niece. I mailed it yesterday. I hope it arrives safely ... it was all I could think to do for her. I also hope it brings her a bit of the Comfort I prayed for while I knit.I finished the facecloth. It's a bit HUGE! It's too thick to be a dainty doily. So, it's a BATHROOM doily! Notice it matches my other PINK bathroom stuff .... think PROJECT SPECTRUM!!!And these? I
