Lilytopia Shawl

Until now I have resisted making a round shawl, for no good reason. I think I was afraid it would like I was wearing a doily! But the Daylily Colourway of Blue Heron’s Egyptian Mercerized Cotton inspired me – and I love the results! The pattern will be available soon.

The shawl is named in honor of a flower festival at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. It’s lightweight and can be worn folded, flung, draped, or even bunched up like a scarf. I will have this on all summer!

  4. If you know a way to get Stevie Nicks to wear this, I'm all ears! It would look great on her. Pattern should be up by the end of the weekend, depending on the schedule of my tech support person.

    Thanks for writing!

  5. Absolutely gorgeous and sooooo does NOT look like a doily. The drape of it is lovely. Beautiful work. It amazes me when when designers work in the round because you really have to know the round before the next where you will end up so you can set up the stitches, spaces, etc. for the round(s) to subsequent rounds. I know it amounts to math ultimately...but it is much more difficult for me to visualize than working from side to side. Kudos to you...very elegant.
