My 61 year-old husband’s grandmother is turning 100 in a couple of weeks!!
I thought a shawl would be the perfect gift to brighten up even sleep or lounge wear for someone in a wheel chair. I did not want it too long, warm or wide so that was easy to use in a wheelchair, inside.
The pattern I used as a base was called Shimmer and Shine Scarf, not that mine shimmers or shines but I liked the look of the scarf.

freedom crocheting 
It’s beautiful. Perfect for the occasion. I love crocheting prayer shawls for others. I’m in the club of “too much yarn, too little time!” ~Pamela
but all that potential at your fingertips!! I am in the “more time than money” group now that my nine kids are grown, that’s why I crochet gifts
