I crocheted a shawl for Vicky to wear to services this week. *She
really liked it. *If you know where I can find actual directions for a
crocheted prayer shawl, let me know. *I made this one up so it wasn't
exact but she liked it and that was what I wanted. *Thanks, Moni

Any shawl pattern can be used for a prayer shawl. *It's your intent as
you make it that makes it a prayer shawl, not the exact pattern. *

Although I have to say that some complicated lace patterns might not
be a good idea for a prayer shawl, as the difficulty may lead to
thoughts that are not congruent with a prayer shawl. *I remember
someone remarking on Ravelry that the third time she had to frog her
shawl she wasn't feeling very prayerful, so she switched to a simpler
pattern.

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...

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
