From Michigan-Nine years ago, Sue Luxton joined Daughters of the King, a women's group at St. John's Episcopal Church.
The group had formed as a ministry group, making "prayer shawls," colorful knitted blankets which are knitted while praying for the recipient and eventually blessed by a priest, for ill members of the congregation. The group split up, but Luxton kept knitting.
She has knitted 62 shawls since then and keeps a record of every one. In a black three-ring binder, she keeps a numbered list of the shawls, their colors and the meaning behind the color choice, the recipients' names and the reason they needed the shawl. On other pages, she has taped pieces of yarn, labeling them with the meanings assigned to each color.
Some symbolize hope, some encouragement, others peace or strength.
