Mary "Whatever you feel comfortable with" -- Mary Shafer * Retired aerospace research engineer We didn't just do weird stuff at Dryden, we wrote reports about it. or Visit my blog athttp://thedigitalknitter.blogspot.com/* * Mary i appreciate your words , but i was under the impression , that Moni wanted to make a Traditional Jewish TALIT [=prayer shawl] which has some traditional specifications. And thus i reminded her of the name Talit .. I admire people who make their own versions of objects that have a spiritual meaning ... it shows the beauty of Human minds... but i also admire the great Spiritual inheritance we give to our next generations , by keeping some forms that have been made over more than 2000 years. Each article has it`s own charm and power... mirjam |

Moni i googled Talit and there is even a site that helps you for choosing sizes !!!! mirjam Thanks for the help. *I hope to do an actual one made to the specifications very soon. *I've been in a whirlwind of gift making including crocheting hats and doll clothes, slippers, dishcloths *and sweaters. *I'm also quilting and scrapbooking. You have to get an early start to get all the things on my list done. I'm the only one in both sides of our family that does any crafting now that my mother is gone. *My husband and I are also making a toy box for each grandchild. *I've got some cross stitching and beading to finish as well, but I'm enjoying it all and make sure to think of the recipient as I make each gift. *That's one of my favorite pleasures of the holidays. *Moni * * * *---- Posted via Pronews.com - Premium Corporate Usenet News Provider ----http://www.pronews.comoffers corporate packages that have access to 100,000+ newsgroups Moni May all your good intentions become blessings !!!! mirjam |
