SoCK Meeting – Prayer Shawls
Meeting Location Change (April only):
SoCK will meet at Yarn Store Boutique (8900 Eastloch Dr Suite #230, Spring, TX 77379).
The community center is closed for Easter weekend.
Prayer Shawls
Ever wanted to do something for that special friend that’s going through a rough time? That is exactly the idea around prayer shawls. With the correct intent you can turn any shawl pattern into a prayer shawl. Additionally, many organizations have prayer shawl ministries. Come join us at SoCK to find out more.
If you are interested in making a prayer shawl to share with a stranger, please bring straight or round needles in a size 13 to 17 (you choose what you are most comfortable knitting with) and two skeins of Lion Brand Homespun Yarn. Priscilla will share an easy pattern and tell you how to find a place to donate your completed shawl.
