Greetings. Still feeling way sad about little Noah. Just a sad, sad thing. On to other things. Bear is such a big old flirt- it is unreal!!! Here he is trying to figure out how best to charm me so I can offer him a cookie or a piece of dehydrated liver. Hmmmm
In June, we will be going to a wedding, as I have mentioned before. I figure I need a cool looking pantsuit- maybe in that slinky stretchy polyester stuff -you know the kind that doesn't need any ironing and hides a multitude of sins (miracle stuff)- anyhow- I thought I would try to make a wrap/shawl. I have a skein of Helen's Lace (Lorna's Laces) in the silk/merino- about 1250 yards of lovely lace weight- in Gold Hill (sort of brick and mauve/pink and gold) Any suggestions for shawl patterns that are a bit on the bigger side (I can't stand skimpy)??????

Love the photo of bear. Not sure about the shawl though. If I think of something good I will let you know!
Ooh, there are so many shawl patterns. I guess I would check out Knitty, then Folk Shawls and Victorian Lace Today, those ought to keep you busy for awhile.
I've seen that look many times; Must. Have. Cookie. NOW! Gypsy has no patience.
How about AllTangledUp's Kiri Shawl and just keep going until you run out of yarn. Robyn
Yarn Harlot has a snow drop shawl.
How about Evelyn Clark's Flowerbasket Shawl? The large laceweight size calls for 1100-odd yards of yarn (I was just looking it up for myself!). I've just begun a pair of socks in that LL colourway; I love, love, love the colours. A shawl will be magnificent!
Psst Bear...Gypsy here. Mommy finally comed back home yesterday. Me watch all day to make sure she stay put. Mommy sez to tell your Mommy that Arctic Lace good. I sez they both needs to spend more time petting us.
