 Excellent resource for crocheters & knitters of all levels January 1, 2006

An excellent book for knitters, crocheters, people interested in starting a shawl ministry, and anyone who wants to help others. Published by Lion Brand Yarn and Leisure Arts, the book is 8 1/2 x 11 format, thin, lightweight and easy to tuck into your needlework bag. The book is well laid-out with plenty of colorful pictures and well written patterns in an easy to read font & size.
Contents include information about several established shawl ministries, and ideas; letters from shawl makers; choosing yarn colors by color meanings & birthstones; patterns for 4 knit & 4 crochet shawls; general instructions including charts of crochet hook & knitting needle sizes, terminology, pattern difficulty (Beginner, Easy, Intermediate and Experienced); chart of yarn information; how to knit and how to crochet basics; and prayers from several religions.
All 8 patterns in the book are rated Easy, but a good variety of sizes, shapes and designs.

This book is excellent for any skill from beginner upwards in both crocheting as well as knitting. Many prayer shawls have been made from using the patterns found in this book. We have found the patterns to be totally correct. Although they are made for Lion Brand Yarn, other yarns may also be used to accomplish the projects.
Everyone to whom I have given a copy of the book as part of the service has been delighted with the variety of patterns. We recommend this book highly for any group embarking on a prayer shawl ministry.

The patterns are simple to read and easy to use for both knitters and crocheters. The book also contains information about starting a prayer shawl ministry and how it helps those who are grieving or need a lift. Highly recommended!
