Question: What do a group of prayer-shaw knitters do when there is a plethora of prayer-shawls at the Church.
Answer: Knit "Hug-me-Tight's"!
After hearing about the good work at the Big Bear Child and Youth Advocacy Center, the Cathedral Prayer-shawl knitters sprung into action. These blankets are a knit in a long row, so that children can "wrap themselves in a hug" whenever they need to speak to police, or make testimony about abuse. Tara Ettinger, director at Big Bear, has remarked about how much of a hit these blankets are! Well done Knitters!
