I finally finished my first prayer shawl. The prayer shawl idea is that you pray for someone while you're knitting it (the stitches are in groups of threes, so theoretically, you pray "Father, Son, Holy Spirit" unless you're watching Comedy Central while you're knitting and then you forget) and then when you give them the shawl, it's full of your prayers (and in my case, mistakes).
I made this for my friend Therese here in Lexington, whose husband is very sick with MS.

You can't really tell from the photo, but it's a really pretty shade of green. It's made with that Homespun yarn, which is a little bit rustic looking.
