I'm giving two prayer shawls today at church. The light blue one was like knitting a Muppet. It's a novelty yarn that is very hard to work with, but makes a thick, dense fabric. It's an eyelash type yarn, which means the body of the yarn is a very thin chain-stitched thread with fuzzy stuff attached to it to make it very bulky. The fuzzy stuff is like blue eyelashes caught up in the thread.
The second one, which is multicolored in shades of the ocean, is perhaps my favorite thus far. It's a scalloped lace called fish-tail lace. (Notice the watery theme going here?)
I made both of these specifically for the recipients, who are both on staff at my church.
Because I wanted to get them finished in time to present during first service this morning, I didn't get to bed until 5:30 a.m. and then got up again at 7 a.m. Dazed and confused? Yes, even more than usual. I'll be going to sleep as soon as I get home from church after second service, probably about 12:20 p.m. or so. For now, I must run.

Up until 5:30 a.m. finishing it, back up at 7:00 a.m. That sounds so much like something I would do. LOL
They're both beautiful, but I really like the bottom one.
Thank you, Genevieve! It is now 8 p.m. and I just woke up from my after-church "nap." I feel SO much better!
They're both lovely, but I like the second best, too! :)
