You misunderstood my post. Previous posts had sounded as if prayer shawls made in any possible manner, the easiest being the most preferable were the best from the viewpoint of the person making the shawl. not the viewpoint of the person receiving the shawl. It still seems to me that if you are caring that much then taking a little longer would perhaps have a different significance for the shawl maker than taking the easiest way out.
I realize that the protestant shawls do not have the color, weave, tassel meanings that the shawls do for those of the Jewish faith. Still, it seems that just doing the easiest thing possible is not consistent with the care and prayer and concern. However, the recipient will never know if you did your best or your easiest. And perhaps the fact that you did anything is the most important thing of all.
