Hug Shawls for the elderly

Good Sabbath Day morning to you!
It is cold even here in the desert, and the elderly or ill feel the cold so much more.  How lovely it would be if you could crochet a few of these for a nursing home, or perhaps for an elderly neighbor.  I have made them for those who are ill, or have lost loved ones too.

We learned to make these at the BYU Women's Conference a couple of years ago.  They are pretty easy if you know basic crochet stitches, as well as quick to crochet.  You can make one in a couple of evenings as you sit and watch TV.  I love to use Hobby Lobby's "I Love This Yarn" as one 7 oz skein makes one shawl, you might need a 2nd skein if you want to make it longer.  So for about $4 you can warm someone's world for years to come.

HUG the ones you love today!
