New Prayer Shawl and Scarf

When Maggie was little and going through all of her medical issues, my Aunt Kate had a prayer shawl made for her.  All of the Gadlage side of the family (my mom's side), got together and said a prayer as we all held onto the yarn.  Then, we sent the yarn off to be made into the shawl.  Maggie was attached to her "little blankie" as she called it from day one.  It went everywhere with her, she slept with it, etc.

She was absolutely devastated when she lost it about a year ago.  My mom knitted her a new one in the same color and she loves it.  Before my aunt passed away, she arranged to have another one made for Maggie, too.  Maggie jumped at the opportunity to have another one.  Well, it came in the mail yesterday and she was absolutely ecstatic!  It's a larger sized one, so we decided she should call it "big blankie" since she calls the one my mom made for her "little blankie".  Here she is cuddled up with her "big blankie" and the scarf they made for her:
