Ah Yes, Details....details

As requested .... the details of my shawl for Bel.  My design.  Koigu in 6 colours.  Three Lace patterns.  The centre 'backbone' of the shawl is a lace pattern used in  the summer 2003 cover pattern of Interweave Knits, with just one repeat.  No name was given for this lace.  Most of the body of the shawl is from Barbara Walker's 'A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns', and is called Dayflower.  I have never seen this lace before, but I renamed it Bellflower lace because that is what it reminds me of.  The 'fill-in' lace is also from the same book, and is called Stripe with Twisted Bars (this is also used in the Frost Flowers and Leaves Shawl which I'm working on).  It's a simple 2 row pattern and creates lovely openwork.

Hi Esther, thanks for popping over, I love the way you've been using colour in the shawls you've been making very bold and inspiring.
