Blessing Shawl

My mom is really good with handwork and her projects keep her busy, build her hobby, and gives lots of happiness to those who receive her gifts.

Here is the blessing shawl she made for John's blessing last Sunday.

She made the body of the shawl, but couldn't figure out the edging. So the night before the blessing, she had me finish it. I holed myself up in my bedroom and crocheted hour after hour to get it done. I thought, it's just edging. I didn't know it was 6 rows of it!

BUT, I got it all done except for the very last row with the picot on it. I finally figured no one would know except for me, so he was blessed with it and then I took it back and finished the last row on the drive home the next day. It took me from St. George to Victorville to get that onelast long row done.

I think it turned out very beautiful. And now the Newell family has their baby blessing shawl.

Thanks, Mom/Grandma Great for the legacy of your handiwork.
