You Are VERY VERY welcome Murielle !
traditionaly a Talit had only some blue stripes , later it became dark
blue -black ,,,,, in some contemporary and esp communities where also
women wear a talit, we strted to see some talitot [plural for talit]
one see some other colored stripes as well.
The Knitted prayer shawls that , knitters are making in the last years
are usually Knitted or crocheted and are made for ill people , or
people who had a traumtic experience, and are meant to warm body and
soul of the hurt person. =while symbolicly the maker has put his
prayer for healing into it ....It is a sister to the square knitted
Afgahns ..

Thank you! I am hoping to complete 2 more scarves before the auction
at the end of the month, and however many more hats before November
that I can.
On a related note, I met a nice local lady who has just retired and
makes 2 hats every week for charity to keep herself busy. I wish I
had her amount of knitting time, because it is so relaxing, and what a
good feeling if it's for a good cause.
