Mystery Project Revealed

In my last post I mentioned a secret project that I didn't want to reveal yet. Now that the recipient has received the surprise I can talk about it here.

Recently all of the church members were invited to a surprise party for our church's administrative assistant, celebrating her more than 15 years of service to our church. Because I know that her favorite color is yellow, and because I had drooled over some awesomely beautiful yellow yarn when I was yarn shopping in March, it was immediately obvious that I needed to knit her a prayer shawl out of that gorgeous yellow yarn. I made a quick trip to Litchfield after one of my Gillespie meetings and picked up the yarn, then knitted like crazy for about a week. I think the color is simply luscious, and the yarn is so soft......On Thursday the party was held with a good portion of the congregation in attendance, and I was able to joyfully present Sue with her prayer shawl. I always love to present prayer shawls for celebratory occasions instead of just in times of stress.
So now it's on to the next 30 things on the list......
