Subject: RE: BS: Vote for next Mudcat auction shawl
keep talking people. Probably most of the ideas will show up at some point in time, (note to self. TRACE this thread)
Jeri - I have an "Autumn in New England" shawl on the needles - *grin* YOu mentioned it earlier and it was too nice an idea to pass up. A center back panal of Chevrons for the "mountains" - the main design will be leaf shapes - and the border is oak leaf lace. Psuedo-faroese design - a shaped triangle to better fit the shoulders.
Påfuglehalen in sage or terra cotta? hmmmmm - lace weight (very light but warm) or wool (heavier but also warm)? I'll start hunting out yarn..(might not be the NEXT one - but that's too good an offer for the 'cat for me to pass it up.) Påfuglehalen is actually a very easy design to knit - (the name means Peacock tail)
These designs are all knit and are Danish to the best of my knowledge.
- I've been having problems with crochet lately - (it was the glasses - I was stubborn and didn't get the bifocals I should have - now corrected) but will be getting back to it soon - have to finish up the "mystic" shawl I started last year.
