I realize that I have given this lovely stitch, Candle of Glory, short shrift so to speak. I also wanted to mention that it would look lovely in Prayer Shawls, not only as a beautiful stitch, but also as a reminder of vigil lights – and prayer candles.  Here is another candle.<\/p>\n

Have an Olympic day!<\/p>\n
