Prayer Shawl Swap USA ONLY

This swap is USA ONLY

IF ANYONE WANTS TO START A NON-US SWAP FOR THIS, PLEASE FEEL FREE, MORE POWER TO YOU!

I don't know if this has been done here before , but I don't see one currently. I am very interested in the implications of prayer and positive mental intentions. A couple of great ladies started this prayer shawl ministry, and I have been following it ever since. Yes, they are Christian Ministers, but their ideas are very inclusive to all faiths and traditions. If you take the time to look over their website, you will see this.

Please take time to thoroughly look over this website, all of the questions you might have can be answered there, but if you still have more questions, feel free to pm me.

This will be more than just a swap, it will be a journey. If you sign up for this swap, you agree to the following:

1)You will make one prayer shawl for one partner.

2)You will have 8 weeks to complete and mail your shawl. This is very doable, as you can make your shawl from any number of simple knit or crochet patterns, and some people even use the various kinds of looms for these.

3) Your partner can give a list of three preferred colors, the shawl will be made out of yarn of one or more of those colors. Your partner can not request a specific fiber, but can list allergies, and you should not use yarn that he/she is allergic to. Please do not expect your partner to use expensive fibers, please do expect them to use any commonly available yarn of their choosing, (that you are not allergic to). Your partner will also contact you or you can contact them, so that you can know any special intention you should be meditating on while making the shawl. If you have any problems with this idea, then this is not the swap for you.

4)You really must mail your shawl on or before the dealine. If something happens to prevent his, you MUST contact me ASAP.

5)You agree to keep in contact with the group via weekly emails as to the progress of your shawl, and any changes the process of creating the shawl may be bringing about in your life.

6)Please make sure your shawl is of a generous size, at least 6 feet long if a rectangle, or at least 6 feet on the longest side if a triangle shape. Some of us are more voluptuous than others, and we want to feel engulfed by this shawl.

7)You will know if this swap/project is for you or not by reading the guidelines. If your heart is not in it, don't sign up. I'll be contacting everyone personally before partners are assigned, so that I know we are all on the same page here.

Please do not sign up for this swap if you are in any other swaps that you are late in sending. I reserve the right to ban anyone from this swap for any reason and I will not enter into any discussion regarding this. If I feel the need to ban you, I will explain why when I do so.
