This is the latest prayer shawl I've made. This is the one that is for someone that has been dealing with a serious illness and I've been anxious to get it finished so I could send it to her. Of course, that means that I've had all sorts of interruptions but I'm finally finished with it.
Otter (in her Batman shirt) is my model. This picture is darker than I'd like, it's a beautiful shade of turquoise blue with chocolate brown and has some silver highlights.
A close-up of the stitches.
It's the same pattern as the previous prayer shawls, foundation chain and the rows are a combination of double crochet with chain stitches. It's about 60" long and about 18 - 20" wide. It's Red Heart yarn, Red Heart has some new yarns that are very soft and not as rough as their standard acrylic yarn. It was very silky and I enjoyed working with this yarn. I chose it because of the color and general soft feel, then I realized that it was good old Red Heart. I'm glad that Red Heart is jumping into the "better yarn" market.
