Knitting into the Mystery

I just read about this in Family Circle Easy Knitting. Very cool. Check out the website at www.shawlministry.com

Quick summary: knitting or crocheting shawls while praying for the recipient. The pattern is based on 3s. A list of colors' meanings is on the website.

These color meanings were so cool that I had to copy and paste them from the site. It is a neat idea, I wish that the prayers were more religiously diverse though! But I really like the idea of infusing intention in the things you make.


This is a basic list of colors and some of the attributes associated with them. It might be helpful to use it as a guideline when you're selecting a color for a particular person for whom you're making a shawl for.

GREEN - earth, healing, prosperity, fertility, clarity, sympathy, hope, renewal, confidence, abundance, growth, life

AQUA - courage

BLUE - water, healing, meditation, tranquility, honesty, loyalty, communication, judgment, sincerity, wisdom, spirituality, self-esteem

INDIGO - wisdom, insight, instinct, spiritual nature

VIOLET - Spirit, spirituality, intuition, truth, memory, nostalgia, humility, comfort during grief or mourning

PURPLE - power, leadership, royalty, truth, justice, temperance, spirituality, wisdom
