Actually, I think I’m in love. 
I added another signature line after I read this, I hope ya know!
I can’t believe you’d give that away! I think I’d be way too attached after all that work.
The thing is that I know I would never wear it. Ever. Shawls are just not me. My daughter, however, will love it. I just want to try making it and have the pleasure of giving it to her.
If, however, it is unbelievably gorgeous, maybe I’ll make a smaller version as a wall hanging or something.
:happydance: I got my pattern today! :happydance:
It really doesn’t look hard at all. Just the basic stitches you’d expect in a pattern like this together with lots of straightforward knitting and purling, and the back is all purled. I think I’m more worried about the crocheted edging, but I’ll face that when I get to it.
I got yarn from elann which I thought was the same weight, but it is lighter. I played with a swatch on Saturday and in order to get gauge without it being really loose, I’ll need to double the yarn. It had a nice body to it that way, too. Luckily I have enough, because I’m ridiculous when it comes to yarn buying.
Unfortunately, I’m also inattentive since I ordered the wrong color the first time around. It’s a lovely pink ( pushed the wrong button I guess) so I’ll keep it, but I want to do this in the lavendar. Maybe I’ll do the pink too, if it’s as straitforward as I think it tis.
Wow!! that’s really a beautiful shawl!!! Maybe one of these days, I’ll be good enough to knit such. Meanwhile onward to my many projects. Thanks Ingrid for all of your help!
I just couldn’t resist. I started it with the pink just to see how it looks with the two yarns together. It’s too early to tell. I have to wait for the pattern to ‘emerge’ more, but I’m thinking that two strands might not work out. I’ll cross my fingers. . . well, my toes, anyway–my fingers are busy!
Keep us posted with pics Ingrid!! :cheering:
When I start mine, (WHEN I get around to it!) I’ll post pics too. I’m doing mine with a lace weight yarn. It’s Lorna’s Laces “Helen’s Lace” in Somerset. 
That is gorgeous yarn. It will look stunning in that. If it weren’t for all the p2togtbls, it would be a rather fast knit.
Still waiting on my camera though. :verysad:
