The Prayer Shawl Ministry

by Leisure Arts

This eagerly anticipated second volume of The Prayer Shawl Ministry book includes 10 shawl patterns to knit or crochet and a heartwarming follow-up on the three prayer shawl ministries introduced in the first book. Readers will identify with the dozens of letters to The Lion Brand Yarn Company from individuals sharing what the ministry means to them. This photo-rich book also includes prayers for many occasions and concerns, all of which may be used in any prayer shawl ministry. The handy guide to Lion Brand Homespun colors is a useful tool that knitters and crocheters will refer to again and again. In addition, a brief overview will familiarize readers with a new volunteer movement known simply as Friendship Shawls, an idea promoted by Warm Up America!

Although I like the idea of prayer shawls or friendship shawls, rather cynically I think this is just an advertisement for the Lion Brand Yarn Company's Homespun yarn.
Of the 10 patterns in the book I think there's only 1-2 I might remotely be interested in doing.

A good guide with prayers and a two page listing of all the Lion Brand Yarn.
