disquieted spirit.... you will receive guidance and direction from
God. ... you will become better able to discern God's will for
yourself and your ministry in the church and within the world.

bereavement, prayer or meditation, commitment or marriage
ceremonies, birthing, nursing a baby; as a bridal shower gift;
during an illness and
recovery; ministering to others

are endless possibilities!
Besides knit and crochet; the shawls can be woven, sewn, quilted, or
machine knitted.
